Hi,

When running my test suite, I often get ES errors that seem to be  
caused by missing files.  
It doesn't happen all the time, and if I keep rerunning them, sooner  
or later the errors disappear.

The basic pattern is:

delete -\> ok  
create -\> ok  
\_refresh -\> ok  
\_search -\> ERROR  
delete -\> ok

Could it be that the refresh isn't actually finishing?

Here's a gist of Tire and ES logs:

I'm pretty sure they are always the same kind of errors. Unfortunately  
I'm not 100% sure that these particular snippets match up to the same  
events. I can capture more logging data if necessary.

Cheers,  
Chris

You can ignore those failures, they are harmless. Its fixed in master.
