Hey There guys,

I'm using NEST.5.0.0-alpha2 in visual studio 2015.

I've created an alias with some indices behind it.

When trying to fetch the indices behind the alias i get an empty response.  
`GetAliasRequest FetchAlias = new GetAliasRequest(new Names(new List<string> { "aliasname" })); var test = client.GetAlias(FetchAlias);`

the variable test stays empty.

If I do fetch with catallias then i get all alliassess.

Is there a problem with getAlias in the alpha or am I missing something?
