I am using rally 0.8 and while doing a bulk-index it is showing messages like:

[INFO] Rally will delete the benchmark candidate after the benchmark  
[INFO] Racing on track [xxx], challenge [createindex] and car ['defaults'] with version [6.1.1].

Running bulk [0% done]  
Running bulk [1% done]  
Running bulk [2% done]  
Running bulk [3% done]  
Running bulk [4% done]  
Running bulk [5% done]  
Running bulk [6% done]  
Running bulk [7% done]  
Running bulk [8% done]  
Running bulk [8% done]

Is this expected because the display message was coming as single consolidated value before.

Hi @dipanjan44,

this can happen depending on your terminal configuration. Can you please run:

```auto
echo ${TERM}

```

If it is set to `dumb`, the terminal does not understand escape sequences that are needed to make this work and this would explain the behaviour.
