I think this is the same problem noted here: [https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ingest-node-pipeline-with-id-x-does-not-exist-solved/54436](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ingest-node-pipeline-with-id-x-does-not-exist-solved/54436)

That thread says "solved" but I see no resolution. Just an inability to reproduce the error. We're still getting the error in later versions.

Details:  
ES 5.1.1  
Using 2 custom processors  
Single node cluster(s)  
Has occurred in at least half a dozen clusters

I don't think I could do a better job at noting the specifics than @PatrickKik so I'll quote him:
