I'm truly an elasticsearch novice, hadn't even looked at index aliasing until this message brought it to my attention.

That said, at first glance it looks like this might be something better done outside of Heka entirely. Can't you just set up a cron job that runs at the end of each day to create the index aliases that you want? It seems like a lot of work to add configuration semantics that would be general enough to support all of the aliasing use cases, I lean against going down that road unless there was a compelling advantage to having Heka do the work.

Hi,

Are there any plans to support creating index aliases?

I would like to be able to create indices for each day and then have
an alias so that I can search across a number of days. In fact it may
be desirable to have an alias for all days and an alias for a given
week - i.e. multiple aliases for a given index.
