ES returns ok:true if status is 503

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

why does ES returns ok:true if the status code is 503? I would expect
ok:false.

{
"ok" : true,
"status" : 503,
"name" : "proxy01",
"version" : {
"number" : "0.90.7",
"build_hash" : "36897d07dadcb70886db7f149e645ed3d44eb5f2",
"build_timestamp" : "2013-11-13T12:06:54Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "4.5.1"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Cheers
Jonny

It's misleading, the ok:true is not related in any way to REST status. This
confusion will be removed in later versions, there are no more ok:true's
scattered over some responses . It was also inconsistent, not all responses
included an ok:true.

"ok": true will be removed in next versions (1.0).
