[ Environment ]
SPLUNK 6.6.4 Search Head Cluster 3 EA
SPLUNK 6.6.4 Indexer Cluster 4EA

Server specifications are very good.

[distsearch.conf] - searcher
connectionTimeout , sendTimeout , receiveTimeout
[limits.conf] - searcher , indexer
base_max_searches ,max_rt_search_multiplier , max_searches_per_cpu

We have set this option to a value that is better than the default value.

Do you know the cause of the symptom and the solution?

I'd guess that the indexer is under such heavy load that the connection times out.

Please show us your actual "better values" for the settings above, and also take a close look at your monitoring console about Ressource usage etc.

Thank you for your comment.

distsearch.conf has been doubled from its default value.

limits.conf The default has been increased by a factor of two or three, and the resources have not changed much.

However, the same symptoms.
