Here is my configuration  
**strong text**  
input {  
tcp {  
port =\> 5000  
type =\> "logs"  
codec =\> "json\_lines"  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch { hosts =\> "localhost" }  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}

The input is still opened on port 5000 and after a few retries, the connection is accepted again.  
The java client has a connection pool to the logsash server.
