python client request fails with default timeout

Question

The following request from a python client to elasticsearch fails

    2014-12-19 13:39:05,429 WARNING GET http://10.129.0.53:9200/delivery-logs-index.prod-20141218/_search?timeout=20m [status:N/A request:10.010s]

Elasticsearch([es_host],
                             sniff_on_start=True,
                             max_retries=100,
                             retry_on_timeout=True,
                             sniff_on_connection_fail=True,
                             sniff_timeout=1000)

Is there a way to increase the request timeout? Currently it seems to be configured by default to read timeout=10

You can try adding a request_timeout to a value in your request like:

res = client.search(index=blabla, search_type="count", timeout="20m", request_timeout="10000", body={

You can also pass timeout=60 when instantiating the client object (60 meaning 60 seconds and of course being only an example).

This parameter overrides the 10s default specified in the Connection constructor.
