I see this topic - [Socket timeout during reindexAsync in RestHighLevelClient](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/socket-timeout-during-reindexasync-in-resthighlevelclient/203452) - and it sounds like a similar situation - but I can't see any submitUpdateByQueryTask on the RestHighLevelClient. Would this be the right way to approach it? Can I use the low level client to do this? I'll take a look into this approach...
