Hi folks,

I am currently updating my app to use the latest version of ES (0.90.3),  
before I was using (0.19.12).

I had the following line to retrieve the state of the cluster with a filter  
on indices :

val clusterState = client.admin().cluster().prepareState().setFilterIndices(  
aliasName).execute().actionGet().getState()

The aliasName could be an existing index or not. It was perfectly working  
on 0.19.12.

Now the actionGet() method throws an exception if the aliasName is not an  
existing index.

I run some similar code and it works fine on 0.90.2. If it truly is a  
regression bug, one of these issues might have affected it:

Thanks Ivan,

I presume that you tried with a non-existing index?

is someone can try on 0.90.3? could be a great help!

thanks

I missed that very important part of your original email. Perhaps I am  
misunderstanding your usecase, but you want to have an alias on an index  
that does not exist? Ailas information is stored in the index metadata and  
aggregated from each index into the cluster state. No index = no alias.  
An IndexMissingException sound appropriate.

Cheers,

Ivan

**Author:** ![didier\_baquier](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/user_avatar/discuss.elastic.co/didier_baquier/32/2055_2.png) [@didier\_baquier](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/didier_baquier)\
**Post date:** [August 22, 2013, 5:26pm UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/retrieving-the-clusters-state-with-indices-filters/13288/5 "2013-08-22T17:26:20Z")

</div>

I just want to retrieve the list of the existing indices related to my  
alias (could be 0 index). To do so, I am using the meta data of the cluster  
state.

if you are familiar with scala, here is what I am doing ( it was working on  
0.19.12)  
val clusterState =  
client.admin().cluster().prepareState().setFilterIndices(aliasName).execute().actionGet().getState()  
Option(clusterState.metaData().aliases().get(aliasName)).map { \_.keySet()  
}.toList.flatten

if it is not possible to do something like that anymore, how can I test if  
my alias is related to at least 1 index?

thanks for your help

"I just want to retrieve the list of the existing indices related to my  
alias (could be 0 index)"

Not it can't. Each alias must have an index. Sounds like you are exploiting  
a bug which has been fixed.

You can gather all the aliases and see if the one you are interested in  
exists.

// in Java so that you can see the return types  
ImmutableMap\<String, ImmutableMap\<String, AliasMetaData\>\> aliases =  
client.admin().cluster().state(new  
ClusterStateRequest()).actionGet().getState().getMetaData().aliases();

ImmutableMap\<String, AliasMetaData\> pAlias = aliases.get(aliasName);
