Hi All,
I would require to get the list of indices attached corresponding to given
alias. Please suggest _Java API_ for the same.

You can get a list of all indices from the ClusterState. From there, you
can retrieve the indices for a given alias.
ImmutableMap\\> aliases =
client.admin().cluster().state(new
ClusterStateRequest()).actionGet().getState().getMetaData().aliases();
ImmutableMap\ alias = aliases.get(aliasName);
Cheers,
Ivan
