<1> Retrieves a map of indices and their aliases
+{response}+ class contains information about errors if they occurred.
This info could be in fields `error` or `exception` depends on a case.

<1> Client sets status to `NOT_FOUND` if at least one item of specified
indices or aliases is not found. Otherwise it is `OK`.
<2> If at least one item of specified indices isn't exist client sets
`ElasticsearchException` and returns empty result.
<3> If at least one item of specified aliases ins't exist client puts
error description in `error` field and returns partial result if any
of other patterns match.
If user specified indices or aliases as regular expressions
and nothing was found client returns `OK` status and no errors.
