Example code on the documentation page does not work

Hey,

I have tried the example code with Elasticsearch 1.4.0 and ElasticSearch 1.5.2. And I am getting errors:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
>>> doc = {
...     'author': 'kimchy',
...     'text': 'Elasticsearch: cool. bonsai cool.',
...     'timestamp': datetime.now(),
... }
>>> es= Elasticsearch(hosts=['localhost:9200'])
>>> es
<Elasticsearch([{u'host': u'localhost', u'port': 9200}])>
>>> res = es.index(index="test-index", doc_type='tweet', id=1, body=doc)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
    raise HTTP_EXCEPTIONS.get(status_code, TransportError)(status_code, error_message, additional_info)
elasticsearch.exceptions.NotFoundError: TransportError(404, u'IndexMissingException[[test-index] missing]')

What else is needed to get it run?

Inserting this line before it gets it working:

>>>
>>> es.indices.create("test-index", {'mappings': {'tweet':{'properties': {'author':{'type':'string'},'text':{'type':'string'},'timestamp':{'type':'date'}}}}}) # <--
{u'acknowledged': True}
>>> res = es.index(index="test-index", doc_type='tweet', id=1, body=doc)

Thanks again! I will check dsl out.
