You are an expert in writing code in many different languages. Your goal is to perform code completion for the following code, keeping in mind the rest of the code and the file meta data.
    Metadata details:
    filename: ping.rb
    path of file: ./repos/elasticsearch-ruby/elasticsearch-api/lib/elasticsearch/api/actions
    
    the code of the file until where you have to start completion: # Licensed to Elasticsearch B.V
    
      def ping(arguments = {})
        request_opts = { endpoint: arguments[:endpoint] || 'ping' }

        arguments = arguments.clone
        headers = arguments.delete(:headers) || {}

        body   = nil

        method = Elasticsearch::API::HTTP_HEAD
        path   = ''
        params = {}

        begin
          perform_request(method, path, params, body, headers, request_opts).status == 200
        rescue Exception => e
          raise e unless e.class.to_s =~ /NotFound|ConnectionFailed/ || e.message =~ /Not *Found|404|ConnectionFailed/i

          false
        end
