Bug ES6 JAVA API: Elasticsearch returning all the indices while trying to get only those indices which are associated with specific alias

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I have recently upgraded application from Elastic search 5.3.1 to 6.0.

My requirement was to get all the indices which were associated with specific alias.

I used below mentioned snippet to fetch all indices associated with specific alias . This snippet is working fine in 5.3.1 and giving only those indices which are associated with that specific alias.

GetAliasesResponse r = client.admin().indices().getAliases(new GetAliasesRequest("givenalias")).actionGet();

But after ES 6.0 , the same snippet giving all the indices which are created in system .

Ideally it should only return those indices which are associated with given alias .Not others. This was working in Elastic search 5.3.1.

Personally I think this is a bug, it is certainly an unintended breaking change. I opened #27763 for discussion.
