You can try to IndicesExistsRequest and IndicesExistsResponse to verify
that.
You can build the request using IndicesAdminClient.
I had ever used it and it worked for me.

You can also delete the index and only catch the IndexMissingException.

Just pay attention that it is a remote exception.

I'm sorry I have to disagree.

Here is what I wrote to force delete an index.

	try {
		node.client().admin().indices()
				.delete(new DeleteIndexRequest("myindexname")).actionGet();
	} catch (IndexMissingException e) {
		// Index does not exist... Fine
	}

As you can see, I catch the IndexMissingException which grand grand grand parent is a RuntimeException.

You might get it wrapped in a RemoteException as well, if it ended up coming
from another node. The remove exception thingy is very handy when it comes
to debugging (has a trace of all the nodes that the failure came from), but,
it does not work amazingly well with java catch clauses... .
