Re: [Haskell-beginners] Nonsensical behavior with http-conduit, httpLbs

      I can't say I fully understand your code, but it seems like it's doing the
following:

1. Send request to server to delete data.
2. Send request to server to add data.
3. Request data from server.

You're saying that with a long enough delay between steps 2 and 3, then (3)
works, otherwise it fails. It sounds to me like there's some kind of a race
condition. I don't know anything about createExampleIndex, but are you
certain that it only returns after the data is completely ready for
querying?

to add to my question adding a delay made it work:
main :: IO ()
main = do
  _ <- insertData
  threadDelay 1000000
  myTweet <- queryTweet
  print myTweet

Original code is: https://github.com/bitemyapp/bloodhound/
The code only works if I manually (out of band) run insertData (in a
REPL) and then run main with the insertData invocation stripped out. If I
run main with the insertData invocation included, it throws an exception
(head) because the search results are empty.
The behavior is as if queryTweet was executing after insertData deleted
the index, but before it inserted the new data.
The following is a stripped down example:
insertData :: IO ()
insertData = do
  let encoded = encode exampleTweet
  _ <- deleteExampleIndex
  created <- createExampleIndex
  docCreated <- indexDocument (Server "http://localhost:9200") "twitter"
"tweet" exampleTweet "1"
  print "test"
  return ()
el
queryTweet :: IO (Either String Tweet)
queryTweet = do
  let queryFilter = BoolFilter (MustMatch (Term "user" "bitemyapp") False)
                    <||> IdentityFilter
  let search = Search Nothing (Just queryFilter)
  reply <- searchByIndex testServer "twitter" search
  let result = eitherDecode (responseBody reply) :: Either String
(SearchResult Tweet)
  let myTweet = fmap (hitSource . head . hits . searchHits) result
  return myTweet
main :: IO ()
main = do
  _ <- insertData
  myTweet <- queryTweet
  print myTweet
further up the call chain, the http call is getting dispatched with
http-conduit's gear, the result returned with the expression:
withManager $ httpLbs req
Included this in case it affects the semantics.
Can anybody help? This has stumped me for a couple hours and I couldn't
get anything clueful on IRC.
Thanks to any that help.
