ES Rest High Level Client throws SocketTimeoutException after being idle for sometime

RestHighLevelClient is used to connect to ES 6.4(hosted on AWS) in a spring-boot app. When the app goes idle for some time, and request arrives, then the RestHighLevelClient throws SocketTimeoutException:

[Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchException: Error while bulk for request: org.elasticsearch.action.bulk.BulkRequest@21511b6c] w
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: 5,000 milliseconds timeout on connection http-outgoing-38 [ACTIVE]

RestHighLevelClient is created using:

@Bean
  RestHighLevelClient client() {

        ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = ClientConfiguration.builder()
                .connectedTo(elasticsearchHostAndPort)
                .build();

        return RestClients.create(clientConfiguration).rest();
   }

increasing timeout does not help.

Any hints/workarounds?

May be you should give a try to the Sniffer?
