Java Client 2.3.1 : N1QL queries throwing TimeoutException [upgraded to Couchbase 4.5]

Problem disappears when tomcat server is re-started and returns after 15-20 minutes.

I think @mlblount45 is also facing the same issue - N1QL queries timing out when run in java sdk - #38 by mlblount45

Could this be a problem of thread choking or thread pool connections in any way?
