Hello people,

I have a couchdb, with a river to elasticsearch

If you delete a database in CouchDB, the river made ​​several attempts to  
communicate after N number of attempts, the river stops.

The only way I've found to revive the river is stopping and starting  
ElastisticSerach

There is another way to restart a couchndb river?

Of course, then create the database in couchdb, reactivate the river

You can delete the \_river and recreate it.

Perhaps closing the \_river index and open it will do the trick.
