Elastic Search Transport Client stale connections

Question

When using Transport Client, are there any issues with the connections going stale? Do I have to create a new instance of the transport client every request? Should I reuse the same Transport Client, and if so what is the best practice for making sure the client doesn't lose its connection

Answer 1

Based on my experience it is better to define once. I have not seen any issues even if ES goes down and comes back. So look like internally ES takes care of the connection.

I think this question is duplicate on Elastic Search TransportClient
