I am having trouble with the consistency of indexing data using javascript client  
and etl package for node. My code imports data to mongodb or elasticsearch, depending  
on a config option.

The following code contains tests for both mongodb and elasticsearch.  
While inserting to mongodb (with monk) works perfectly, I don't get consistent  
results from elasticsearch javascript client. Most of the time, 2 of the 3 documents  
in my CSV will get inserted. But some times it will be 1.

Both the mongo and the elastic option use the same node etl pipeline.

In the context of tests, you should call refresh before searching.
