Title: Add assertion that ES is running before tests

There's probably a better way to assert that it's actually Elasticsearch running on the specified URL, but the two checks ("ok" is true and "status" is 200) are pretty decent approximations that the JSON coming back from the URL is originating from an Elasticsearch instance.
