Elasticsearch Users - JAVA vs REST index existence checkI have been reading the group for ways in which to check the existence of an index, and using the JAVA API, this seems to be the preferred method: client.admin().cluster().prepareHealth().setWaitForYellowStatus().execute().actionGet(); ClusterStateResponse response = client.admin().cluster().prepareState().execute().actionGet(); boolean hasIndex = response.getState().metaData().hasIndex(indexName)
