Very unreliable connection

[ponny]

I seem to be getting errors about half the time when using the service. My Internet connection is fine and I'm pretty sure that Amazon ES actually works (I've got two nodes and it's been green status the whole time) so I suspect I've got a configuration issue.

[Faraday::TimeoutError] Operation timed out after 0 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received {:scheme=>"https", :user=>nil, :password=>nil, :host=>"[removed].us-west-2.es.amazonaws.com", :path=>"", :port=>443, :protocol=>"https"}

I'm setting my connection as such:

    Elasticsearch::Client.new(url: "https://[removed].us-west-2.es.amazonaws.com", log: true) do |f|
      f.request :aws_signers_v4,
                credentials: Aws::Credentials.new(access_key_id, secret_access_key),
                service_name: 'es',
                region: 'us-west-2'
    end

Your error seems to suggest that you somehow have a 0 second timeout.... consider setting it... here's something that worked quite well for me for the last week or so.

require 'elasticsearch'
require 'elasticsearch/model'
require 'faraday_middleware/aws_signers_v4'

es_servers = Array(ENV.fetch('ELASTICSEARCH_URL', AppConfig.es_hosts))
config = {
             hosts: es_servers,
            logger: ActiveSupport::Logger.new("#{Rails.root}/log/elasticsearch.log"),
  retry_on_failure: true,
   request_timeout: 5
}

case Rails.env
when 'development', 'staging'
  config.merge!(trace: true) unless 'rake' == File.basename($0)
end

Elasticsearch::Model.client =
  Elasticsearch::Client.new(config) do |f|
    if Rails.env.production?
      # We should be able to remove this once we move into the VPC
      f.request(:aws_signers_v4, credentials: Aws::Credentials.new(AppConfig.aws_access_key_id, AppConfig.aws_s3_secret_access_key), service_name: 'es', region: 'us-east-1')
    end
  end

Tried it. No change. Here's my config:

      f.request :aws_signers_v4,
                credentials: Aws::Credentials.new(access_key_id, secret_access_key),
                service_name: 'es',
                region: 'us-west-2',
                retry_on_failure: true,
                request_timeout: 5

Found the problem. I had to set it on the Elasticsearch::Client.new, not the inner request. Thanks.
