Hi.

I am use es client to communicate with elasticsearch.  
All other interfaces works except es.ingest.simulate. My code is as follows:

> ```
> es.get({
> index: "website",
> type: "blog",
> id: "123"
> })
> .then(function (obj) {
> notify.error('jgq check get!');
> })
> .catch(notify.fatal);
> 
> ```

> ```
> var param = {
> body: {
> "pipeline" :
> {
> "description": "_description",
> "processors": [
> {
> "set" : {
> "field" : "field2",
> "value" : "_value"
> }
> }
> ]
> },
> "docs": [
> {
> "_index": "index",
> "_type": "type",
> "_id": "id",
> "_source": {
> "foo": "bar"
> }
> }
> ]
> }
> };
> 
> ```

> ```
> es.ingest.simulate(param)
> .then(function(response) {
> notify.error('jgq check simulate!');
> })
> .catch((err) => {
> notify.error('jgq check simulate fail!');
> });
> 
> ```

The get interface succeed while the ingest.simulate failed, and the error I get is:

> [http://192.168.214.131:5601/zhn/elasticsearch/\_ingest/pipeline/\_simulate](http://192.168.214.131:5601/zhn/elasticsearch/_ingest/pipeline/_simulate) 404 (Not Found)

Any help would be appreciated!

Currently there is not an ES proxy created for the ingest pipeline. You can see the proxy setup [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core_plugins/elasticsearch/index.js#L54-L59).
