Remove nickname and index in elastic search

Question

I am working on elastic search, and I have the following situation.

• I have two indexes index1 and index2.
• Alias1 points to index1 and index2.
• Alias2 points to index2.

I would like to remove all of them. Do I need to remove index1, index2, and then remove the aliases? Will there be aliases if I delete both indexes? If they exist, what is the java API to remove these aliases?

Answer 1

After the index is deleted, the alias will also be deleted.

In your case, you can directly remove index1 and index2.

Note. I experimented in ES 1.7
