I've used this feature to great effect. I have logs coming in, and I
create a core for each day. At the end of each day, I create a new core
for tomorrow, unload any cores over 2 months old, then create a set of
aliases ("all", "month", "week", "today") pointing to just the cores
that are needed for that range. Thus, my app can efficiently query the
bit of the index it is really interested in.You cannot, as far as I am aware, index directly to an alias. It wouldn't know what to do with the content. However, you can create an alias over the top of an existing one, and it will replace it. Works nicely.
