That error indicates that the proxy server sent an entire HTTP PUT 
request, including the whole body, to one of the object servers, but 
that object server failed to respond with headers in time (where "in 
time" here looks like "10 seconds").

That can happen for many reasons, including heavy IO load on the object 
server, and since you're benchmarking the cluster, you may well have 
driven the load up high.

Do note that the proxy will still return a successful response to the 
client if a quorum (2 out of 3) of the writes succeeded, so seeing this 
error in the logs does not necessarily indicate that clients are seeing 
errors.
