it checks to see whether elasticsearch is unpacked

I forgot an important attribute in my example

ark "elasticsearch" do
   url 
https://github.com/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.19.2.tar.gz
   version "0.19.2"
   prefix_root "/usr/local"
   checksum  adac92d66ce91f42d9e67bd60e6b1335995f5dfdd153165fdcf1fe24b63ac59e
   has_binaries [ "bin/elasticsearch" ]
end

ark does keep the downloaded tarball in the chef cache path

ark checks whether or not the directory
/usr/local/elasticsearch-0.19.2/   exists and is empty
If it is not empty, ark unpacks the downloaded tarball

that's awesome that it is debianized, sadly it has not been
centos-ized ;( as well
