Errors: Reached end-of-stream/Streamed search execute failed

[esiroker]

Running 4.2.4, these errors show up every once and a while when doing a search on a search head:

"Reached end-of-stream while waiting for more data from peer
<indexer>. Search results might be incomplete!"

"[<indexer>] Streamed search execute failed because: Attempted to
get current default indexes when no context was set"

<indexer> will be any one of our indexers.

Retrying the search works.
