Java client - setTimeout vs actionGet(timeout)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

I want to make sure the search query doesn't exceed some limit.

I've seen the option to use a setTimeout vs actionGet(timeout).

Can someone please explain the difference?

Also, I've read somewhere that there's a default connection timeout. Can
that be used instead. If so, how?

Thanks for your help,

Ron

Timeouts are server side and best effort. I believe action get(timeout) is
client side.

I use the http client but use both and set the server side timeout to lower
than the client side timeout.

The server side timeout should return partial results if possible.

Thanks for the info.

Default for server side timeout is none and I don't know client side
timeout. I imagine it is a long time.

IIRC the Java API doesn't have any default client-side timeout for search
requests, its an opt-in feature
