Context:
In some circumstances the upgrade to 3.0.0 from 2.7.0 fails with a NullPointerException, see e.g. SUPPORT-7639. It could get worked around by deleting the event index created by the 3.0.0 upgrade though with
curl -s -XDELETE localhost:9200/optimize-event_v2-000001
But we need to investigate the actual cause, the NPE seems to be related to the `writeIndex` flag of the event index being null.
AT:
- 3.0.0 docs mention this known issue when upgrading sequentially from <=2.6.0 all the way up to 3.0.0
	- this needs to get merged to master, latest and 3.0.0 branches
 
- the potential NPE on a write index flag missing is fixed in `UpdateIndexStep`, it just defaults to true in this case
- the `CreateIndexStep` uses the `ElasticSearchSchemaManager.createOptimizeIndex` method to create indexes
This is the controller panel for Smart Panels app
