Hi,  
Trying to create new index (java api) and get:

org.elasticsearch.indices.IndexMissingException:

Next run - works fine.

Best Regards.

Can confirm this. Had the same issues last night.

In our case, "sometimes" during a \_bulk request with data for a new  
index, the first item generates the Exception. Afterwards, fine indeed.
