=== Exists Alias API
|
|
|
|
[[java-rest-high-exists-alias-request]]
|
|
==== Exists Alias Request
|
|
|
|
The Exists 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[exists-alias-request]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
==== Optional arguments
|
|
The following arguments can optionally be provided:
|
|
|
|
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[exists-alias-request-alias]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
<1> One or more aliases to look for
|
|
|
|
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[exists-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[exists-alias-request-indicesOptions]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
<1> Setting `IndicesOptions` controls how unavailable indices are resolved and
|
|
how wildcard expressions are expanded
|
|
|
|
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[exists-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-exists-alias-sync]]
|
|
==== Synchronous Execution
|
|
|
|
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/IndicesClientDocumentationIT.java[exists-alias-execute]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[java-rest-high-exists-alias-async]]
|
|
==== Asynchronous Execution
|
|
|
|
The asynchronous execution of a exists 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[exists-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[exists-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-exists-alias-response]]
|
|
==== Exists Alias Response
|
|
|
|
The Exists Alias API returns a `boolean` that indicates whether the provided
|
|
alias (or aliases) was found or not.
