Hello,

I'm indexing an ES 6.4 index in this way:

```
cluster.getRestClient().index(new IndexRequest(INDEX_NAME, TYPE_NAME, cacheId).source(objCache.getIndexDocument(), XContentType.JSON), cluster.getRequestOptions());

```

This works perfectly. But when I add the refresh policy:

```
cluster.getRestClient().index(new IndexRequest(INDEX_NAME, TYPE_NAME, cacheId).source(objCache.getIndexDocument(), XContentType.JSON).setRefreshPolicy(RefreshPolicy.WAIT_UNTIL), cluster.getRequestOptions())

```

All threads get stuck. Our web application remains unresponsive and we have to shutdown tomcat 8.5.32. Not sure if this is a bug, or if this policy must not be used with an IndexRequest.

It's just 1 ES node with this index settings:  
"index.number\_of\_shards" = 1  
"index.number\_of\_replicas" = 0  
"index.refresh\_interval" = 10000  
cluster.getRequestOptions = RequestOptions.DEFAULT.toBuilder().build()
