Hi guys, I am using elasticsearch embedded in my webapplication. I really need the methods "isStarted" and "isStopped" on Node api. Currently I wait in my current thread for several seconds for starting/stopping, but I think that it will bring more code clarity to have this methods in the java api. Something like this: /\*\* - Returns true if the node is active and ready to be used, false otherwise. \*/ public boolean isStarted(); /\*\* - Returns true if the node managed to stop all threads started by it, false otherwise. \*/ public boolean isStopped(); Can you help me in this issue? Thank you very much, Doru -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
