      • _name string
      • value string Required
  • index_routing string
  • is_write_index boolean

    If true, sets the write index or data stream for the alias. If an alias points to multiple indices or data streams and is_write_index isn’t set, the alias rejects write requests. If an index alias points to one index and is_write_index isn’t set, the index automatically acts as the write index. Data stream aliases don’t automatically set a write data stream, even if the alias points to one data stream.
