Don't want to complicate things :), but it might still be an issue with ES as probably rubberband sends the requests faster then the curl script. If you add delays between operations, does it still happen?

After spending the last day ripping out rubberband and using straight up ruby requests, I'm still able to reproduce the issue, but i've also learned more about how to more-correctly integrate with elasticsearch. My workaround for now is to not delete the entire index between test runs. removing the mapping + documents and reindexing my test fixtures is really all i need to do. Coming from a solr background, the elasticsearch concept of one index with multiple types is easy to overlook. i'm so used to nuking and repopulating the index between test runs. any other recommendations or gotcha's for using elasticsearch in a test environment would be appreciated! Thanks again for your time.

Heya, In elasticsearch tests I delete an index and create it each time. I think that we should solve this problem, lemme ping you back when I have a solution. I think, for a testing perspective, deleting an index and creating it is the correct approach, so its a shame you won't be able to do it. -shay.banon On Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 8:40 PM, Ryan wrote: > After spending the last day ripping out rubberband and using straight > up ruby requests, I'm still able to reproduce the issue, but i've also > learned more about how to more-correctly integrate with elasticsearch. > > My workaround for now is to not delete the entire index between test > runs. removing the mapping + documents and reindexing my test > fixtures is really all i need to do.

I just pushed an improvement to the introduction of a type in elasticsearch through an index operation. Can you give it a go and see if it solves your problem?
