Bug Description
If you try to enable the elasticsearch search option in Configure site -> Site options -> Search settings when the ElasticSearch Server is not running it hangs on saving site options.
There needs to be a report back to the screen that an error occurred like 'ElasticSearch Server is not running, please start service and try again'
Actually for this to work we'd need to check if it is running before letting them choose it - because the site option is saved before the failure so coming back to the page it shows the search is set to 'elasticsearch' which is incorrect.
The error log has errors like this:
[WAR] 15 (lib/errors.

I have added a function in elasticsearch to check to see if one can connect to the host/port with the given elasticsearch host and port details.
I tried using the inbuilt Elastica functions like getConnection() or isEnabled() to achieve a similar thing but there was instances where I could generate false positives / negatives if I ran
sudo /etc/init.
or
sudo /etc/init.
After certain pages had already loaded
The inbuilt checks seem to be one page load behind actual state.

Checking if elasticsearch can connect to host / port (bug #1256118)
Currently the getConnection() in Elastica/Client.php can give false
positive and also throws error if no connection.
What is needed is a true/false check to allow for things like notice
feedback on extensions page or giving a warning when switching to
'elasticsearch' on site options page when it is unreachable.

What is needed is a function like
is_elasticsear
Which checks to see if a connection can be made to the ElasticSearch Server - returning true/false
That way we could use it in places like admin/extension
And we could use it on search/
We could instead have a "We were unable to process your search - please try again. If the problem persists please contact your administrator" message for the page.
