Allow to search across indices and types even if some types do not exists on some indices

[jeroig]

Hi,

I'm a developer of Escargot (gem to use rails with elasticsearch), i also apport some patch to rubberband (elasticsearch for ruby).

I have a problem using elasticsearch version 0.15.0 or later when i search in all indexes, specifying any types throw a error in this case.

The case is as follow:

echo "Create indexs"
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/first/tweet/1' -d '
{
"user" : "kimchy",
"postDate" : "2009-11-15T14:12:12",
"message" : "trying out Elastic Search"
}';

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/first/grillo/4' -d '
{
"user" : "kimchy",
"postDate" : "2011-01-15T14:12:12",
"message" : "Elastic Search"
}';

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/first/cote/3' -d '
{
"user" : "kimchy",
"postDate" : "2011-01-15T14:12:12",
"message" : "Elastic Search"
}';

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/second/cote/2' -d '
{
"user" : "kimchy",
"postDate" : "2011-01-15T14:12:12",
"message" : "Elastic Search"
}';

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/third/mencho/5' -d '
{
"user" : "kimchy",
"postDate" : "2011-01-15T14:12:12",
"message" : "Elastic Search"
}';

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/third/cote/6' -d '
{
"user" : "kimchy",
"postDate" : "2011-01-15T14:12:12",
"message" : "Elastic Search"
}';

echo "Refresh all"
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_refresh'

echo "All indexes, types grillo,cote: (should be 4? or 2?)"
echo "In elasticsearch v-0.14.X return 4 with no errors, in v-0.15.X return 2 with error in log"
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_all/cote,grillo/_count?q=kimchy'

echo "Delete all indexes"
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/first/'
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/second/'
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/third/'
