Hi Honza,
Hoped you would be lurking around here :)
I almost feel ashamed for not thinking about that myself - it makes totally
sense. The default is 10 seconds as I recall, and we haven't tampered with
this in this particular one of our projects. It also makes sense that we
are seeing this type of error more on our test cluster, since it has much
worse hardware than our production nodes.
Moreover, your comment has likely put a point on another issue we see in a
different application, where we have changed the default timeout, but to
something I'm now realising is likely way too low.
Thank you -- I'll be monitoring the issue for sure.
I'll report back once we get our test set up again in a few hours.
Regards,
Henrik

Hello Henrik,
My guess would be that the timeouts you are seeing in python are
causing this - when the python client encounters a timeout, it retries
the request, thinking something went wrong. Thus if your timeout is
too small it can actually lead to spamming the cluster - when the
python client encounters a timeout the request is still running in the
server so each retry will spawn another bulk request being processed.
The solution should be to make the timeout for your python client higher.
I am starting to consider this a bug so I created a ticket to fix it,
you can track it on github:
https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-py/issues/128
Hope this helps,
Honza

We're currently working with re-indexing one of our indexes on one of
our
test servers, and we appear to be having issues. The operation should be
fairly obvious, and there's not a lot of data -- around 320.000 total
documents in the index, at around 1.15GB of data. We scan from the old
index, and bulk index 1000 documents at a time (we've also tried 500
documents at a time to no avail). Since our production indexes are more
around the 30GB size, we're a bit discouraged by hitting this wall.
Once in a while, we get a random resource not available error, but
they
usually resolves themselves and go away -- however, after indexing
around
260.000 documents, the Python script starts behaving weirdly, throwing a
lot
of resource not available errors. A full gist is here:
https://gist.github.com/HenrikOssipoff/ac63060d4c18182719dd (note that
this
is Python 3.4, so chained exceptions and everything -- the top exception
is
not actually the important one).
Now, thing is. During this time, Elasticsearch itself seems fine, and
the
system is generally available for querying. The JVM heap is fine, and
the
Elasticsearch log itself has absolutely no warnings or errors (log level
INFO enabled).
Our next course of action will be try to doing this by just cURLs
outside of
Python, or even enabling debug logging in Elasticsearch, but we wanted
to
see if anyone has some ideas for what could be the course.
It seems logical, that since it only happens every one in a while, and
gets
worse the more documents we index, it has something to do with the
amount of
_bulk indexes we do, but we can't seem to find anything in logs or stats
that support this.
Any help appreciated, or any pointers in the right direction.
Thank you!

Henrik Ossipoff Hansen
