I am using Spring + RestHighLevelClient to send data to Elasticsearch

```auto
restHighLevelClient.search(searchRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT)

```

But when the system has been idle for a while, the following exception is thrown

```auto
java.io.IOException: Connection reset by peer,
	at org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient.extractAndWrapCause(RestClient.java:828) ~[elasticsearch-rest-client-7.6.2.jar!/:7.6.2],

	at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.search(RestHighLevelClient.java:970) ~[elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client-7.6.2.jar!/:7.6.2],

```

Is it possible to configure somehow to re-connect in case connection is rest?
