During heavy load, ES times out and processing halts

[punisherVX]

When ES is under heavy load or pauses due to garbage collection, the default timeout (10s) is not enough and when it times out all SFN processing halts and never starts again. See stack trace:

socket.timeout: timed out

There are a few ways to try and fix this. Set timeout to more than 10s (as documented here ) or figure out why GC is taking so long and fix that.
