Awesome idea, Andre! I was wondering whether you might have to delete the original alias before creating the new one, but a quick look at the issue for collection aliasing shows that this isn't the case. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4497 The wiki doesn't mention the DELETEALIAS action. I won't have time right now to update the wiki. Thanks, Shawn
