We suspect the flakiness could’ve come from the fact that the rollover
step used to create the new index and roll the write alias to the new
index in separate cluster state updates. So the assertion that the
rolled index exists could’ve passed in the test but, before the
alias was rolled over to the new index, the subsequent write we execute
in the test (namely
`indexDocs("test_user", "x-pack-test-password", "foo_alias", 1)`)
would’ve sent the new document to the source index (ie. foo-logs-000001)
This would see the source index containing 3 documents and the rolled
index (foo-logs-000002) 0 documents.
However, we fixed this and the rollover step executes the “create index
and roll alias” in one single cluster update, so this situation should
not occur anymore.
