[Feat] Add index.ping()

[ishaan-jaff]

After initializing an index() I need to know if it was created successfully, Can you expose something like this ?

Hi @ishaan-jaff -- Does index.exists() or index.info() suffice for your use case? Can you share a bit more details?

[ishaan-jaff]

use case - users start the litellm server (https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/caching) I need them to know if the redis index is healthy/was created successfully

I think index.exists() would work - will try this

works - thanks !
