I got the message, 'failed to execute pipeline for a bulk' .

The detail is

```
[2017-02-16T18:34:44,121][ERROR][o.e.a.b.TransportBulkAction] [cr-node-1] failed to execute pipeline for a bulk request

```

I used the stack with filebeat, logstash, elasticsearch and x-pack. And the message 'retrying failed action with response code: 429 ' with this error was occurred in the logstash.  
How could I resolve this problem?

We get the same error with elasticsearch 5.2 and x-pack version. But we don't have an idea how to solve the problem. Have you found a solution meanwhile?
