Play akka connection Timed out

Question

I have scheduled the job using play akka and facing the below issue, this is happening randomly :

[ERROR] [11/12/2014 08:41:29.364] [play-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-8] [TaskInvocation] Connection timed out

Can you suggest how can I handle this exception? Or should I be increasing the timeout, not sure how to do it? Any help would be appreciated.
