[.NET's default behavior is to enable HTTP pipelining](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.pipelined%28v=vs.110%29.aspx), however pipelining is not fully supported in elasticsearch yet which can cause problems (see https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/2665). There are some performance implications by disabling pipelining that we need to evaluate before making any changes.
