AWS ElasticSearch Service version 2.3 does not work with Jest Client: java.net.SocketTimeoutException
Try to add .readTimeout to your client creation code:
factory.setHttpClientConfig(new HttpClientConfig.Builder(END_POINT) .multiThreaded(true) .readTimeout(60000) .build());I was facing the same SocketTmeoutException: Read timed out.
Adding .readTimeout solved it for me. Hope this helps for you as well.
