Hello all,
Is there any way to automatically assign and index alias upon it's
creation, based on a pattern
For example, twitter-* => twitter and so upon creation of
"twitter-2012-03-28" would be automatically assigned to "twitter"
Cheers,
Thiago Souza

Hi Michael,
This is great! But how do I set the alias? I can find de documentation
on how to add an index alias, but when setting up a new index, how to
declare the aliases?
Cheers

In order:
you can then redefine the alias as your data changes over time. People
often use the alias function when doing time based indices.

Michael,
The index is created automatically (i.e. a document is indexed into non
existing idex), how can I create the alias, automatically, right after the
index creation?
Cheers

Ahh - no idea offhand. I have done all of my index creation intentionally.
I know that ES provides information/API's on its inner workings and that
people are creating plugins that listen to these API's for various reasons.
I imagine you could listen for such an event and fire the alias command.
Are you set on allowing lazy creation of the indices?

Michael,
I thought on creating a plugin myself, just wondering if there already
wasn't a way of doing it. IMO setting index alias on index templating is
perfect. I think I'll fire a feature request for this...

+1
That would be great.

I'm trying to do the same thing with time based data. Is this now supported in index templates?
