I'm creating a Document class in python and the Alias field is nowhere found neither in docs nor in your python client. How can I implement the Alias data type in python? Thanks. ---

I don't think you need anything special for that but I'm not a Python dev. It's just part or the mapping as any other field. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.2/alias.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.2/alias.html) ---
