Hi, Im on ES 1.2.1 and the below usage is not working for me. even if i pass the option of ignoring unavailable or closed indices, i get an error response (ClusterBlockException[blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/4/index closed];]). Is my usage wrong? IndicesOptions indicesOptions = IndicesOptions.fromOptions(true, true, false, false); MultiSearchRequestBuilder multiSearchRequestBuilder = client.prepareMultiSearch().setIndicesOptions(indicesOptions); SearchRequestBuilder searchRequestBuilder = client.prepareSearch(...).setIndicesOptions(indicesOptions); multiSearchRequestBuilder = multiSearchRequestBuilder.add(searchRequestBuilder); MultiSearchResponse multiSearchResponse = multiSearchRequestBuilder.execute().actionGet(); this is the multi search response in the debugger - multiSearchResponse = (org.elasticsearch.action.search.MultiSearchResponse) { "responses" : [ { "error" : "ClusterBlockException[blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/4/index closed];]" } ] } thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I'm also running into this issue. Is this expected behavior for `ignoreUnavailable`?
