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. Andres -- ---

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!
