I was wondering if there was a maximum amount of HTTP connections for ES. Some background, I have modified my limits.conf, etc, so I know that is not the issue. But it seems, ES doesn't take any more connections around 150 or so. ---

No, there isn't a limit to the number of open HTTP connections on elasticsearch side.
