When a command is executed against Riak if the chosen socket is closed, an error will occur. This could happen on stale connections if a load balancer (like ELB) times out. Some operations aren't automatically re-tried, but in the case of an immediate socket failure, all Riak operations should be re-tried at least once with a new connection.
