Are you GETting the document, or just searching?

That means,From server side i have call for document write operation, but ES doesn't completed document index yet. In the meantime client side call Get() api from ES, but ES still no data exist, because index is not finished yet.

So i need to know when index finished in ES.

Thank you.
