Getting Aerospike timeout with multiple java client in application

Currently I am using Aerospike in my application. I faced lots of timeout issues as shown below when I was creating new java client for each transaction and I was not closing it so number of connection ramp up dramatically.

Aerospike Error: (9) Client timeout: timeout=1000 iterations=1 failedNodes=0 failedConns=0

so to resolve this timeout issue,I didn't made any changes to client, read and write policy, I just created only one client, stored it's instance in some variable and used this same client for all transaction (get or put requests). now I want to understand how moving from multiple client to one client resolved my timeout issue. how these connection were not closing automatically.

The AerospikeClient constructor requests peers, partition maps and racks for all nodes in the cluster and initializes connection pools and async eventloops. This is an expensive process that is only meant to be performed once per cluster at application startup. AerospikeClient is thread-safe, so instances can be shared between threads.

If AerospikeClient close() is not called, connections residing in the pools (at least one connection pool per node) will not be closed. There are no finalize() methods in AerospikeClient.

The first transaction(s) usually need to create new connections. This adds to the latency and can cause timeouts.

The client does more than just the application's transactions. It also monitors the cluster for changes so that it can maintain one hop per transaction. Also, I believe when we initialize the client, we create an initial pool of sockets.

It is expected that most apps would only need one global client.
