I am upgrading elasticsearch from 0.19.x to 0.20.4 but routing key is not working I am getting RoutingMissingException, which I don't have previously. When I traced source code, MetaData.resolveIndexRouting.java:321, aliases does not have any item for the index name and it's returning default null routing value. Is this intended or not? I cannot find any comment about this on the web page. Also, if I want to use routing, how should I set up aliases?

Does your mapping has a \_parent field or is routing required in your mapping? Also how does your index request look like?
