Solution: After debugging the the elasticsearch php client I found a retry
mechansim that allows the client to jump to the next server from the pool
if the previous is down.
**this mechanism is disabled by default**
to enable this mechanism you need to initialize the Client with a parameter
called retries:
$params = array();
$params['hosts'] = $ELSEARCH_SERVER;
$params['retries'] = count($ELSEARCH_SERVER);
$dstEl = new Elasticsearch\Client($params);
Hope it will help you guys
