## Title

    [Weaviate Python client] Batch aborted after server OOM: "Batch stream was not re-established within N seconds after an OOM message. Terminating batch."

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The client pauses the batch loop on server OOM/shutdown/hangup signals and raises if the stream is not re-established in time.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Batch stream failed to re-establish: 
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

    Search phrasings: weaviate batch stream was not re-established OOM; weaviate ingest out of memory batch terminated
