If Cluster Status is Yellow or Red (i.e. recovering shards) elastichq is unable to function

[thoro]

General information

• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): Docker Container
• ElasticHQ Version: 3.5.12
• Elasticsearch Version: 6.7
• Python version (ignore is using docker image):
• Browser Vendor and Version (if applicable): Chrome

Issue Description

Whenever I access elastichq while the cluster status is red or yellow (i.e. recovering shards) it main page loads and then times out.

I checked the logs, apart from logging the raw data, it also shows timeout error after 30 sec on the following paths:

/_cluster/stats
/_stats
/_cat/nodes?format=json&full_id=true&h=id%2Cm%2Cn%2Cu%2Crole%2Chc%2Chm%2Chp%2Cip%2Cdt%2Cdu%2Cdisk.avail%2Cl

And the web endpoint then returns:

{
"message": "Oops! Something bad happened.",
"status_code": 500
}

Is there an option to request the indices separatly, increase the timeout, or somehow otherwise handle it, so that at least the basic node management functions are available?
