/**
  Test data required by the ciao test suite.

  Some tests will fail when run against an empty index, you can use this script
  to insert some dummy data in to your index before running the tests.

  note: as this is dummy data, care should be taken in order to make sure these
  documents don't end up in your production index; for that reason the HTTP port
  has been hard-coded as port:9200.
