Why have you split the alias update into two steps? It's both safer and faster to make it an atomic operation (see Index Aliases), e.g.

curl -X POST "localhost:9200/_aliases" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
    "actions" : [
        { "remove" : { "index" : "user-20180631", "alias" : "userdata" } },
        { "add" :    { "index" : "user-20180701", "alias" : "userdata" } }
    ]
}
