Question about persisten connections to REST port

Hi

I'm running several tests against a Elasticsearch 2.1. I created five indexes with one shard each one and start to insert in http//IP:9200/_bulk API point. I'm using a python client using the request module , inserting 100 docs each request. Well, system performs well (from the return JSON I see the took key about 90 100 ms). I hit the ctrl-c and start again the test. Drop the indexes and start to insert the same events ... well, after this, I see that the time to insert multiply by 10. With the same script and the same date.

I check the "hot threads" and see these stacktrace:

root@elasticnew:/etc/elasticsearch# curl -XGET '172.31.2.191:9200/_nodes/hot_threads?threads=3&type=wait'

I don't know why the second time the system slowdown .... :?

The script I'm using is genloadindexes.py.
I launch it with
./genloadindexes.py http://IP:9200/ 1M.events 5

First time, each insert request is fine. But If I stop and start to insert the same data ... the system slows ...

Well, the problem is that I create / delete the index with the same name in my test. Then, the system slow downs.

Known issue, see https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/15225
