ElasticSearch index exists not working / reliable

Question

I am writing a simple Java wrapper around ElasticSearch\'s admin client. To test it I have a main method that first checks if an index exists (IndicesExistsRequest), if so delet

Answer 1

You can also execute a synchronous request like this:

boolean exists = client.admin().indices()
    .prepareExists(INDEX_NAME)
    .execute().actionGet().isExists();
