Why can I not submit data via sockets in the java SDK?

Below I have a setup which is submitting an event to splunk. I would like to not recreate a connection and stream several events at a time. What can I do to achieve this? I attempted to use a socket below, but it always errors out with `<msg type="ERROR">Read Timeout</msg>`.

public class Main
{
  static final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
  {
      Map<String,Object> map = new HashMap<>();
      {
        map.put("host", System.getenv("SPLUNKHOST"));
        map.put("username", System.getenv("USER"));
        map.put("password", System.getenv("PASSWORD"));
      }
      Service.setSslSecurityProtocol(SSLSecurityProtocol.TLSv1_2);
      final Service srv = Service.connect(map);

      working(srv);
      broken(srv);
  }

  static void working(Service srv) throws Exception {
    final Receiver receiver = srv.getReceiver();
    String str = mapper.writeValueAsString(data("rec_http"));
    receiver.log("api_analytics", str);
  }

  static void broken(Service srv) throws Exception {
    final Index index = srv.getIndexes().get("api_analytics");
    final Socket sock = index.attach();

    String str = mapper.writeValueAsString(data("sock"));
    final OutputStream out = sock.getOutputStream();
    final InputStream in = sock.getInputStream();
    out.write(str.getBytes());
    String r = new String(in.readAllBytes());
    System.out.println(r);
    sock.close();
  }

  static Object data(String src) {
    Map<Object,Object> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put("index","api_analytics");
    map.put("source",src);
    return map;
  }
}
