Hi!

Is in ElasticSearch some time interval after which I can be sure that values  
I've putted are searchable? For example:

1. I put some messages
2. I wait x amount of seconds
3. Now search "is seeing" my messages

By default, the refresh interval in elasticsearch is 1 second (you can  
configure it to be higher). There is also the indices refresh API to make  
sure that anything that happened before the API was called is searchable.

cheers,
