Hi All,  
I have cluster with 16 data node and 3 master nodes. With total of 22500 shard distributed across 16 nodes.  
The put-mapping event fails even after 5 minutes after configuring the timeout value.  
We are using elasticsearch 5.3.x version  
Below is the stackstrace for the same.

ProcessClusterEventTimeoutException[failed to process cluster event (put-mapping) within 5m]  
at org.elasticsearch.cluster.service.ClusterService.lambda$onTimeout$4(ClusterService.java:497)

Thanks  
Jay

Is the cluster health green before you do the put mapping?

Can you share your api call, and what you are trying to achive?

PutMappingRequestBuilder putMappingRequestBuilder = elasticClient.admin().indices().preparePutMapping(indexName);  
putMappingRequestBuilder.setType(componentNameId)  
.setMasterNodeTimeout(INDEX\_MAPPING\_TIMEOUT)  
.setTimeout(INDEX\_MAPPING\_TIMEOUT)  
.setSource(getContentFromFile(MAPPING\_ROOT + componentNameId + ".json"), XContentType.JSON);

The health of the cluster is green while generating the mappings. We are generating mapping using putMappingRequestBuilder API of elasticsearch java api v5.3
