Hi  
I am writing a client on nodejs platform and I am calling multiple( around  
300) http bulk request one after another and each request has around 300  
index actions  
for a same index/type . the scenario is that a user can upload files  
(containing the list of items) to my nodejs server to get indexed in  
elasticsearch.  
If i run around 10 such bulk request (at a go) it runs fine and items are  
indexed.  
But if i try to run all the server just hangs, cant produce any logs and no  
logs on elasticsearch console either (no error/exceptions reported)

All bulk request are valid coz i ran them all 300 individually. Problem is  
running them one after another (imagine 300 diff users uploading single  
file at the very same second)

Appreciate any help on this.
