GetIndicesFromAlias Throws Exception When Alias Doesn't Exist

[nfratin]

I'm trying to use getIndicesFromAlias and it's throwing a JestElasticSearchException when it can't find the index.

This is the code that throws.

	public Set<String> getIndicesFromAlias(String aliasName) {
		JestResult result = execute(new GetAliases.Builder().addIndex(aliasName).build());
		if (!result.isSucceeded()) {
			return Collections.emptySet();
		}

It seems to me that it should be using the other execute and passing in acceptNotFound as true. So it should be:

JestResult result = execute(new GetAliases.Builder().addIndex(aliasName).build(), true);

Was wondering if this was the intended action, or should I be catching the 404 and dealing with it myself.

Thanks

Hi @nfratin , thanks for your feedback.

I will check that, I guess that it will be better with "acceptNotFound" enabled but I need to check the compatibility with many versions of ES.
