Django haystack with elasticsearch, indexing issue
This does not necessarily mean that your es server is down, especially if you get something reasonable returned with curl -I "127.0.0.1:9200". More likely, this is an issue of your request simply not getting enough time given the speed of connections involved.
Interestingly, the default timeout set in pyelasticsearch is 60 seconds, see def __init__(self, urls, timeout=60, max_retries=0, revival_delay=300): in https://github.com/rhec/pyelasticsearch/blob/master/pyelasticsearch/client.py. However, haystack overwrites that with its default setting, which is 10 seconds, as per self.timeout = connection_options.get('TIMEOUT', 10) in https://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack/blob/master/haystack/backends/__init__.py.
As you can see though, haystack allows you to easily modify your setting, by adding 'TIMEOUT': 60, to your engine configuration.
And solved :)
I too had the similar problem
sudo service elasticsearch restart
then it worked
are you running
bin/elasticsearch -f I think you are not running the searchengine.
