Hi guys  
I'm performance-testing queries with a lot of filters.  
Since the configured value of max filters is 1024, I've increased **indices.query.bool.max\_clause\_count** to 10,000.  
So, regular queries are working fine (takes a lot of time to run, but it works) BUT when i create an alias with the same body, it fails when i try to use more than 1024 filters.

Is **indices.query.bool.max\_clause\_count** not affecting aliases?  
Is there any other way to use an alias with more than 1024 filters?

Thanks
