Hey,

I am trying to run esrally for the first time on my machine and I am getting the following error.

INFO:esrally.actor:Checking capabilities [{'Thespian ActorSystem Name': 'multiprocQueueBase', 'Thespian ActorSystem Version': 1, 'Python Version': (3, 7, 3, 'final', 0), 'Thespian Generation': (3, 9), 'Thespian Version': '1561560820226'}] against requirements [{'coordinator': True}] failed.

Hi Nachiket,

Despite the scary "failed" message, this is actually an INFO message and does not necessarily mean anything is wrong.

Are you encountering any other ERROR or WARNING messages?
