While I agree with the category Idea I think the main problem here is not
implementing the functionality but rather testing it throughout the
application. Something like this spreads everywhere and must be supported
everywhere. Like we support type in the URL but also in some queries like
top_children etc. as long as there is not usecase that you can't build
easily in the app layer I'd rather stay away from adding this. aka. not
worth the trouble?

Hi Simon,
The need is pretty similar to the need for aliases on indexes. I am
building an API for looking up and searching products by company and
category. I am using the company name as the index name, and the category
name as the type name. This makes some sense as most of the products in any
given category have very similar types of data. What I need is a way to
have subcategories pre-defined as a subset of a given type, and/or cross
category searching via a supercategory name, but always within a given
company (index).Also, how large of a task do you think it would be to add this
functionality? I am familiar with Java and not averse to helping out with
the project. I assume I should submit some bug-fixes first
to acquaint myself with the codebase, but it is conceivable that I might
contribute this type of functionality if it would be welcomed.

There is nothing in the pipeline for this. Can you elaborate why you
want this a bit more. I am trying to understand the need for it more.thanks,

to only aliasing the indexes. I too would love to see this feature. Is this
a feature that is supported and I somehow missed it? Is it in the plans for
a future version of elasticsearch?Thanks,
