Hi, everyone

I'm using elasticsearch to search massive data(twitter content).  
I satisfied with it's speed.  
But I'm why closing time is long.  
Blew is code searching twitter data.

Client client = new TransportClient()  
.addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("192.168.10.14", 9300));  
...  
client.close();

additional information  
elasticsearch version : 0.16.1  
hadoop version : 0.20.2  
jdk : 1.6.0\_25

You mean closing the transport client takes a lot of time? It should be pretty fast.

this problem is solved. It's my mistake.  
The reason is wrong way to use close method.  
I'm sorry you to confuse.
