Timeout when uploading document (> 5 minutes)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello!

We recently set up a pair of nodes to start ingesting documents (default
setting shards=5), and with about 1 request per minute we're getting
timeouts in some POST requests. This means that elasticsearch is not
replying in 5 minutes time. In paramedic we see though that the indexing
time is about 32 secs (which is high anyway compared to what we were
expecting, but is way lower than 5 minutes! which is the default time out
of the client-stack that makes the Http request).

We're using version 0.19.9. Does this ring a bell to anyone? Any bug that
could have been fixed recently in newer versions which was affecting this
one?

Thanks in advance.

Many questions:

Which client are you using? Are you bulk indexing or sending one index
request per document? What is the size of your document/total size if bulk?

Client: .NET (Nest lib) in Debian (Mono)

One request per document.

Size of each document is minimal, small JSON object that more or less fits
in a screen.

Right now the total number of documents in the cluster is 14,200 (26 MB).

(BTW I made a typo in my first message: we're obviously using PUT, not POST)

Thanks for your reply!
