lbry-sdk suite: test_es_sync_utility: AssertionError: 217 != 218

It seems this is a vulnerability in the es_writer.start() where it can fail if interleaved with a task adding new block(s) (e.g. create_task(self.generate(N))). Hence filing against lbryio/hub.

Test Code:

        # stop the es writer and advance the chain by 1, adding a new claim. upon resuming the es writer, it should
        # add the new claim
        await es_writer.stop()
        await self.stream_create(f"stream11", bid='0.001', confirm=False)
        generate_block_task = asyncio.create_task(self.generate(1))
        await es_writer.start()
        await generate_block_task
        self.assertEqual(11, len(await self.claim_search(order_by=['height'])))

Thanks for pointing this out, this appears to be a race condition in the tests (it is not a vulnerability, just a bug) - these commits are working towards fixing it:
