=== Get Alias API
[[java-rest-high-get-alias-request]]
==== Get Alias Request
The Get Alias API uses `GetAliasesRequest` as its request object.
One or more aliases can be optionally provided either at construction
time or later on through the relevant setter method.
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[get-alias-request]
--------------------------------------------------
==== Optional arguments
The following arguments can optionally be provided:
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[get-alias-request-alias]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> One or more aliases to retrieve
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[get-alias-request-indices]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The index or indices that the alias is associated with
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[get-alias-request-indicesOptions]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Setting `IndicesOptions` controls how unavailable indices are resolved and
how wildcard expressions are expanded when looking for aliases that belong to
specified indices.
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[get-alias-request-local]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The `local` flag (defaults to `false`) controls whether the aliases need
to be looked up in the local cluster state or in the cluster state held by
the elected master node
[[java-rest-high-get-alias-sync]]
==== Synchronous Execution
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[get-alias-execute]
--------------------------------------------------
[[java-rest-high-get-alias-async]]
==== Asynchronous Execution
The asynchronous execution of a get alias request requires both a `GetAliasesRequest`
instance and an `ActionListener` instance to be passed to the asynchronous
method:
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[get-alias-execute-async]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The `GetAliasesRequest` to execute and the `ActionListener` to use when
the execution completes
The asynchronous method does not block and returns immediately. Once it is
completed the `ActionListener` is called back using the `onResponse` method
if the execution successfully completed or using the `onFailure` method if
it failed.
A typical listener for the `Boolean` response looks like:
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[get-alias-listener]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Called when the execution is successfully completed. The response is
provided as an argument
<2> Called in case of failure. The raised exception is provided as an argument
[[java-rest-high-get-alias-response]]
==== Get Alias Response
The returned `GetAliasesResponse` allows to retrieve information about the
executed operation as follows:
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[get-alias-response]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Retrieves a map of indices and their aliases
