ElasticSearch version: 1.5.2

Hi all,  
I am using the java transport client to index documents. Recently I sometimes met this exception:  
 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/d/dc71cfe10e44789b51e7cfdefaef489912212f56.png)  
However, it seems that my Elasticsearch node is still in healthy state. Noting error logs in the Elasticsearch nodes can be found.  
What' worse, if I retry index the documets, the error will happen again.

Here are part of the smaple codes that I am using to index documents.

`
BulkRequestBuilder bulkRequest = client.prepareBulk();
bulkRequest.add(client.prepareIndex(indexName, indexType, docId)
                .setSource(dataMaps));
BulkResponse bulkResponse = bulkRequest.execute().actionGet(15000);

My question:
What's the reason for the exception?
Is there any proposal for problem?
Thank you`
