Hi, I am using the Python Elasticsearch API <http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/python-api/current/> to interact with ES in my Python Flask application (server is Python Tornado). Currently, as soon as the app gets a new user request, it does esclient = Elasticsearch("127.0.0.1") and then uses this esclient to search for the required data. But I recently read that ES has persistent connections. So,
1. Should I save the esclient somewhere and reuse it instead of doing esclient = Elasticsearch("127.0.0.1") for every request? 2. Would there be some resource leak if I forget about esclient after the request and open a new one every time? Is there a way to close this open connection? I am also doing the same for another db, Redis in my app. Sorry, might seem like a basic question but I am a bit confused.
