I'm trying to use logstash to extract all records from ES (very small records) and populate them into rabbitmq. I wanted to see what the fastest I could go so I didn't set up any persistence/durability so disk IO should not be a problem. ES timed out as a result and I'm not sure of how to go about resolving this issue.

Here's the exact error message:

> A plugin had an unrecoverable error. Will restart this plugin.  
> Plugin: \<LogStash::Inputs::Elasticsearch hosts=\>["192.168.0.83", "192.168.0.84", "192.168.0.85", "192.168.0.86", "192.168.0.88", "192.168.0.89", "192.168.0.90", "192.168.0.91", "192.168.0.92"], index=\>"com-initial", scroll=\>"1m", size=\>1000, codec=\>\<LogStash::Codecs::JSON charset=\>"UTF-8"\>, query=\>"{"query": { "match\_all": {} } }", scan=\>true, docinfo=\>false, docinfo\_target=\>"@metadata", docinfo\_fields=\>["\_index", "\_type", "\_id"], ssl=\>false\>  
> Error: Timeout::Error {:level=\>:error}

Any ideas on how to keep it from timing out?

Thanks in advance!
