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.
