```

Seeing this on Elasticsearch high level client 7.5.2

We are not using any aysnc queries . We are using synchronous queries to index documents like this

```
 indexResponse = client.index(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

```

The first time this issue occurs it looks like it stops the RestHighLevelClient instance and then all subsequent queries from this box fails .

I have seen other similar issue which talks about not handling onfailure methods with async requests . Here , i'm not using any async methods so not sure how to fix this .

@reddroid

you mentioned that once it failed first time, it continues to fail. I wanted to be sure that the error you list above is for that first failure and not one of the subsequent ones.
