[Just Pushed]: Index Aliases

Hi,

Just added a nice feature, which is basically assigning alias(es) to an
index. More info here:
http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/88. One of the
nice things one can do with this API is to create a logical name for an
index (the alias) and then replace it on the fly to work against another
index.

Superb! That completes a big part of the puzzle.

One thing, in the issue that you link to, you don't specify which type
of REST request that we would use for the aliasing.

Oops... . Update the issue. The REST is host:port/_aliases
