Hello, I'm trying to create an index with a whitespace default tokenizer using the Java API like this: Settings indexSettings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder().put("analysis.analyzer.default.tokenizer", "whitespace").build(); CreateIndexRequest req = new CreateIndexRequest(index, indexSettings); client.admin().indices().create(req).actionGet(5000); This always times out after the 5 seconds in the actionGet call. The code is called in the constructor of a river (I need the river to create the index). I'm using ES 1.0.1 (both the server and the Java lib). What am I missing?

drewr helped me on IRC. The problem was that I was calling the code in the constructor of a river, which was called too early. I moved the code so that it got called later and all is fine now.
