How to run an embedded elastic search instance for testing
elasticsearch, specs2
Solution
I would suggest you to have a look at the elasticsearch-test project on github. You can easily add it as a dependency to your project and use its handy annotations to start test nodes, create indices and so on.
Problem
I'm working in a setup that has an embedded elastic search instance for unit testing purposes, but when I run the tests continuously with sbt (`~test-only <my-test>`) the system becomes increasingly unstable until it freezes and has to be killed with fire. Things I'm having a hard time getting to work properly are: - isolation - cleanup - shutdown What is the proper way to set this up, (solutions preferably using specs2, but Java based is also welcome)?
