Differences between an index and an alias which points to a single index

2014-02-23 Thread Rafael Almeida
Hello, Say I have an index called duckling and an alias called duck which points to duckling and no other index. Except for creating an alias pointing to duck, all the other operations seem to route directly to duckling. Is that true? is there something besides creating an alias that I can do

No limitations, as long as the alias points to a single index. If it pointed to multiple indices then you couldn't execute single index operations, like index etc. as it's not possible to identify which single index the operation is supposed to execute on. On Monday, February 24, 2014 12:03:08
