hi team,  
Why my custom endpoint does not record to index and does not throw any errors? Use postman and get 200 status.

```
server.route({
method: 'POST',
path: '/api/record',
handler(req, h) {
  const payload = req.payload;
  callWithRequest(req, 'bulk', { 
    index: 'myindex', 
    '_type': 'doc', 
    body: {
      payload       
    }
  }).then(response => {
      ({error: null, id: response._id, result: response.result});
    })
    .catch(error => {
      ({error: error});
    });
    console.log("written!");
    return callWithRequest(req, 'search',{
      'index':'myindex',
      'q':'_id:*'
    });
  },
});
```

You code is not waiting for the initial `callWithRequest` to finish before returning the result of the second call. Try this modification (disclaimer: untested 🙂):

```auto
server.route({
  method: 'POST',
  path: '/api/record',
  async handler(req, h) {
    const payload = req.payload;
    await callWithRequest(req, 'bulk', {
      index: 'myindex',
      _type: 'doc',
      body: {
        payload,
      },
    })
      .then(response => {
        console.log('written!');
        console.log({ error: null, id: response._id, result: response.result });
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.log({ error: error });
      });
    const response = await callWithRequest(req, 'search', {
      index: 'myindex',
      q: '_id:*',
    });

    return h.response(response);
  },
});

```
