Hey folks...

I'm upgrading to the newest version of Elastic Search, and noticed that  
ElasticSearchException was renamed to ElasticsearchException.

Was this done across the board for lots of classes? Just this class? A  
mistake? Just curious what drove this.

The correct spelling is Elasticsearch.

The change was applied on 6 Jan 2014 almost a year ago for ES 1.0
