Hi Team,

Is there a way to use wildcard to get document from multiple indices in Java API ? For example, currently I have to use prepareMultiGet as below:

MultiGetResponse multiGetItemResponses = client.prepareMultiGet()  
.add("index\_01", "index\_01", "foo")  
.add("index\_02", "index\_02", "foo")  
.add("index\_03", "index\_03", "foo")  
.get();

May I just use a wildcard index name, for example index\_\* to get doc from the indices ?
