I want to reindex an index,and then \_aliases.  
after execute \_reindex,it looks ok,but after execute \_aliases,all the index can not write, and query is timeout.include the other indexes in the cluster. so I rollback,it recovery  
here is the monitoring screenshot

22:00 start \_reindex, 22:05 finished  
22:06 start \_aliases,and error occurred.looks like the cluster is not available.all the other indexes in the cluster also can not work.  
the new index I didn't set refresh\_interval,maybe its the reason why disk capacity is rising but document count is still zero when reindex.
