Thanks Ivan, makes sense. Still could not test how sockets relate to shards and why I automatically get 10 established sockets when opening a client:
node = builder.client(clientOnly).data(!clientOnly).local(local).node(); client = node.client(); on default ES configuration, and many many more sockets after (up to 200), and how this number changes when increasing/decreasing number of shards, but happily I managed to fix the initial issue of highlighting info being randomly lost by a config change as described here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/elasticsearch/3t6UL_vzM7o/TLnV2m2B1NAJ so sockets does not look an issue anymore.
