Hi,

im getting the following exception though i set the timeout to 60s:

```
java.io.IOException: listener timeout after waiting for [30000] ms
at org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient$SyncResponseListener.get(RestClient.java:663)
at org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient.performRequest(RestClient.java:222)
at org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient.performRequest(RestClient.java:194)
at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.performRequest(RestHighLevelClient.java:488)
at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.performRequestAndParseEntity(RestHighLevelClient.java:474)
at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.bulk(RestHighLevelClient.java:246)

```

Java snippet:

```
      client = new RestHighLevelClient(RestClient.builder(new HttpHost("gateway", 9200, "http"), new HttpHost("gateway", 9201, "http")).setRequestConfigCallback(requestConfigBuilder -> requestConfigBuilder.setConnectTimeout(60000)
            .setSocketTimeout(60000)));

```

What am i missing on the High(/Low)LevelRestclient configuration?

Best regards,

twk 🙂

Thanks for your answer but the timeout happens after 30s (30000ms, see error snippet) though 60s (60000ms) are configured. ☹  
Restarting had no effect.

Problem solved. I missed the setMaxRetryTimeoutMillis.
