I am getting " Connection reset by peer" error while querying ES. after few re-tries its working fine.  
private static RestHighLevelClient client;

```
     RestClientBuilder builder = RestClient.builder(new HttpHost(hostname, 9200, "http"));
			builder.setHttpClientConfigCallback(new RestClientBuilder.HttpClientConfigCallback() {
                @Override
                public HttpAsyncClientBuilder customizeHttpClient(HttpAsyncClientBuilder httpClientBuilder) {
                    return httpClientBuilder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider);
                }
            });		
		client = new RestHighLevelClient(builder);

```

The exception is too big to share here. Is there another way that i can upload the exception?

**The connection is established by**

```
private static RestHighLevelClient getRestInstance() throws exception{
	
		if (client == null) {

			initializeRestClient(); //this calls the restClientbuilder to initialize the connection. 
		}
		return client;
	}

```

**Search**  
`searchResponse = getRestInstance().search(searchRequest); // this line throws the exception.`
