Context:
In SUPPORT-8961 a customer hit the issue that long running requests time out either directly on certain elastic deployments (e.g. {{ECE has a maximum limit of 420 seconds, so we recommend optimizing long-running queries in Elasticsearch. }, see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/ece-limitations.html) or intermediate proxies between Optimize and Elasticsearch. We thus need to ensure that there are no long-running requests used by setting a reasonable request timeout for the elasticsearch client. (e.g. these 420 seconds or even lower).

AT:

• the elastic client or servers in any integration test setups are configured to timeout after a configurable amount
