I searched the whole forum, but didn’t found a good answer.
I use the Java-client and have a problem with the search timeout.
I can set a timeout for each search request individually. This makes sense, as I can define how long I want to wait for the answer.
But what happens when I set the timeout value higher than the default socket_timeout of (30000 ms)? In this case the client will timeout after 30 s anyway. It seems that Elasticsearch server isn’t sending heartbeat packets to keep the connection running.
Therefore I need a way to set the socket_timeout to a value higher than the search timeout. I don’t want to generally increase the socket_timeout on the underlying HTTP client, because the default timeout is normally ok.
I need a way to specify the socket_timeout on a per search call base.
How can I do that?
