I updated some indices mapping to simply add a keyword field to a text property and reloaded Kibana's index patterns. I was told I should run this command at the end:

POST 11ad.pi.prod.test-case-18/\_update\_by\_query?conflicts=proceed

after doing it I get an error:

{  
"statusCode": 504,  
"error": "Gateway Time-out",  
"message": "Client request timeout"  
}

does it mean the timeout is too short?
