Loading attributes from the data DBI

[zhelyan]

Unless I am missing something obvious:

in attributes/data.rb:

data = Chef::DataBagItem.load('elasticsearch', 'data')[node.chef_environment] rescue {}
default.elasticsearch[:data][:devices] = data['devices'] || {}

The first line returns nil, not an empty hash if there is no configuration for the current environment in the data bag; as a result, the 2nd line fails with

NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
/var/cache/chef/cookbooks/elasticsearch/attributes/data.rb:100:in `from_file'

Hello! We've re-written the cookbook using libraries that expose resources and providers, so you shouldn't see this problem on the newer version; it should also be much easier to customize. Hope this helps!
