I am trying to update a document using javaapi. But I am getting  
concurrentexception. I have created a war and running in web context

My code looks like this  
Client client = _new_ TransportClient().addTransportAddress(_new_InetSocketTransportAddress(  
"localhost", 9300));  
UpdateRequestBuilder builder = client.prepareUpdate(index,type,docID);

builder.setSource(data.getBytes());

client.update(builder.request()).get();

Stacktrace is

builder.setId("docID");  
builder.setSource(data);  
UpdateRequestBuilder updateBuilder = client.prepareUpdate();
