I got some weird errors in my ES log...

[2012-12-27 15:37:25,267][WARN][monitor.jvm] [Locus]  
[gc][ParNew][2676426][42057] duration [9.4s], collections [1]/[3.8m], total  
[9.4s]/[40.1m], memory [933.9mb]-\>[740.5mb]/[1.9gb], all\_pools {[Code  
Cache] [12.9mb]-\>[12.9mb]/[48mb]}{[Par Eden Space]

[33.2mb]-\>[33.2mb]/[33.2mb]}{[CMS Old Gen]  
[669.1mb]-\>[707.1mb]/[1.6gb]}{[CMS Perm Gen] [33.2mb]-\>[33.2mb]/[82mb]}

Does anyone know what that means?

Then I got a lot of:

tion while handling client http traffic, closing connection [id:

After all of the weird HttpChunk things ES stopped working.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

The first part is a warning message that Java garbage collection took  
longer than expected. Are you running queries with faceting, sorting  
or scripting? You see these warnings often? Perhaps the es process  
needs more memory. You can check this with the node stats api:

(use the jvm flag)

I think the last error could be a result of the first warning. Usually  
when memory becomes scarce ES nodes can become not responsive.
