Description

Right now when indexing fails, it's hard for users to work out why find queries return nothing, or fewer results than expected. Think about ways to surface this (right now you need to run FT.INFO <index> and look at the output of that to see if there are failures / any documents in the index.

See #60 for an example of this occurring.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how indexing failures are currently represented and how find queries behave when an index is empty or incomplete. Compare that with the failure and document counts exposed by FT.INFO, and read #60 for the reported example. Done requires an agreed way for users to discover indexing problems without manually inspecting FT.INFO.
