[Koha-devel] ModBiblio function error

I did a quick look over the code.

If your searchengine is set to Elasticsearch, then when ModZebra() is
called it tries to index the record in the background at that time (at
least that's the way it reads to me, I could be wrong).
Also if you have the BiblioAddsAuthorities preference set, then ModBiblio
calls BiblioAutoLink() to update authorities links, which will create an
authority record if the AutoCreateAuthorities preference is set, which
calls AuthorityMarc::AddAuthority(), which calls ModZebra().

The error to me looks like it's trying to contact the search engine to
add/update an authority record, and can't find it.  But you have to have a
lot of system preferences set just so to get that far.  So I'm not sure
that's what's happening.
