Occasionally I see request timeout at `phase/query+fetcher/scroll`. I think it's because the cluster is busy and the request didn't come back in 5 minutes (the default scroll timeout) and I see in log that the request was under `path: /_search/scroll, params: {scroll=5m}`.

To verify this I want to increase the request timeout, but I don't find a parameter in the spark support page to specify scroll timeout. There's a `es.http.timeout` but that value is default to 1m.

Is that the parameter I should use or is there another one?

Thank you very much!

I would set `es.http.timeout` to address the client side timeout for waiting on a response, and would also increase `es.scroll.keepalive` to increase the amount of time that the scroll is kept available.
