Link to appropriate documentation:
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_search_options.html#_literal_timeout_literal_2
In particular: "By default, the coordinating node waits to receive a
response from all shards. If one node is having trouble, it could slow down
the response to all search requests."
-
Is it the case where if I don't set the timeout, the coordinating node
will really wait forever? -
When would this situation occur? I'm assuming when cluster state is
"yellow", the coordinating node knows not to request from the "bad" shard.
Just high load/GC on a particular node? -
Any reason not to set this on all my requests to a relatively high value?
Thanks,
