i used django-haystack - 2.0.0-beta, pyelasticsearch - 0.5, elasticsearch 0.20.6, java version "1.6.0_24"

haystack settings

      haystack_connections = {         'default': {             'engine': 'haystack.backends.elasticsearch_backend.elasticsearchsearchengine',             'url': 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/',             'index_name': 'haystack',         },     }  

and im sure elasticsearch serivce running.

this not mean es server down, if reasonable returned curl -i "127.0.0.1:9200". more likely, issue of request not getting enough time given speed of connections involved.

interestingly, default timeout set in pyelasticsearch 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 default setting, 10 seconds, per self.timeout = connection_options.get('timeout', 10) in https://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack/blob/master/haystack/backends/__init__.py.

as can see though, haystack allows modify setting, adding 'timeout': 60, engine configuration.

and solved :)
