Hey,

i want to configure a a small timeout between my elasticsearch php client  
to the my elasticsearch server.

i tried to pass some parameters to the guzzle client but it seems this  
doesn't work.  
here is the code:

```
$params = array();

```

> ```
> $params['hosts'] = $hosts;
> $params['guzzleOptions']['connect_timeout'] = 2.0;
> $params['guzzleOptions']['timeout'] = 2.0;
> $this->elastica_obj = new Elasticsearch\Client($params);
> 
> ```

i searched and found that the problem might occured because the timeout is  
set in the cURL layer (that is lower than the guzzle)  
([Limit connecting time with Guzzle HTTP PHP client - Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20847633/limit-connecting-time-with-guzzle-http-php-client))

i guess i need somehow to set CURLOPT\_CONNECTTIMEOUT\_MS parameter to the  
value i want (2000ms) but i don't see any good way to pass it through the  
elasticsearch php client.

Does someone knows how to do it?

I posted the solution in here:

this is the parameter that should be pass

$params['guzzleOptions']['curl.options'][CURLOPT\_CONNECTTIMEOUT] = 2.0; // this applies 2 seconds connection\_timeout
