Hi, Imagine you have an index and you need to reindex your data into a new index, but don't want to have to reconfigure or restart client apps when you want to point them to the new index. This is where aliases come in handy. If you created an alias for the first index and made your apps hit that alias, then you can just repoint the same alias to your new index and avoid having to touch client apps.
No, I don't think you can write to multiple collections through a single alias.
