Hi,  
While pushing documents to an index with dynamic (large) mapping (having a big cluster state), i occasionaly get the following error (very few ones):

> ProcessClusterEventTimeoutException[failed to process cluster event (put-mapping [my\_data\_type]) within 30s]

The master\_timeout parameter is a good workaround for all index.\* operations.  
Is there any way to provide a master\_timeout duration for bulk/index operations ? A cluster wide setting ?  
Thanks
