hi guys,

i wonder if someone had the same problem.  
i have a heavy query, with complicated script, and i want to give this  
query larger timeout.

but no matter, what number i put there, the timeout happens after 30  
seconds.

here is the code:

var queryBegin = moment();

_client.search({ index: strIndices, type: "xxx", ignoreUnavailable: true, timeout: 600000, body: body}, function (error, response) { var queryEnd = moment(); console.log("query callback. duration: " +(queryEnd-queryBegin) + **" ms "** );_

and the console shows:

_getDroppingConversion callback. duration: 30009 ms  
Request Timeout after 30000ms_

thanks a lot

Lior
