Warning when using Elasticsearch.exists and document doesn't exists

It seems like Elasticsearch.exists raises a warning when the if the document could not be located in the specified index (in addition to the False returned value).

Is this the expected/designed behavior or am I doing something wrong?

Disabling all warnings just to get rid of one erroneous warning seems less than ideal. Logging is meant to provide valuable information. Wouldn’t doing something like this in the exists method work:

params['ignore'] = 404
status, _ = self.transport.perform_request('HEAD', _make_path(index, doc_type, id), params=params)
return status == 200

Doesn’t require a change to the connection logic and seems pretty reasonable.

Oh, if you are in iPython notebook then logging has already been configured so basicConfig won’t work, instead do:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger("elasticsearch")
logger.setLevel(logging.ERROR)
