Creating an index and alias in the same request

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

Is there anyway to create an index and set an alias name on it with only
one request ?
Something like :
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/twitter/ -d '

{
"settings": {
"number_of_shards": 3,
"number_of_replicas": 2
},
"alias": [
"myalias"
]
}

'

Thanks,
David.

No, there ins't an option to do so (at least not for a complex alias, with routing and other parameters). You can open an issue...

Ok thanks. Issue opened here : https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1695

I would be pleased to try to implement it. Could you give an advice on some classes I should look at to start ?

Thanks,
David.
