Hi everybody !

In my unit tests I have a lot of sleep that waits for the refresh interval  
(1s);  
I would like to speed up my tests. Executing them in parrallel is not an  
option.

Is there a way to force ElasticSearch to refresh after each operation, in  
the elasticsearch.yml configuration file ?

Thanks

Romain

hey,

can't you forcefully refresh manually via the refresh  
API? [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-refresh.html)

Indeed.

I replace every sleep by a call to the refresh API.

Thanks
