Client-Side timeout exceeded for operation

Occasionally, when I deploy my node application, this error occurs when trying to access the database:

 { CouchbaseError: Client-Side timeout exceeded for operation. Inspect network conditions or increase the timeout
  message: 'Client-Side timeout exceeded for operation. Inspect network conditions or increase the timeout',
  code: 23 }

Even though I have increased the bucket timeout value to 120 seconds, this error still occurs sometimes. (Bucket.operationTimeout = 120*1000;)

I added the statement process.exit(1); on Bucket.on('error') to force the restart of the service, but isn’t there any other way to try and reconnect with the database (if the case when the error message occurs is due to a timeout) ?
