= Aliases
An alias is a secondary name for a group of data streams or indices. Most {es}
An alias points to one or more indices or data streams. Most {es}
APIs accept an alias in place of a data stream or index name.
You can change the data streams or indices of an alias at any time. If you use
aliases in your application's {es} requests, you can reindex data with no
downtime or changes to your app's code.
Aliases enable you to:
* Query multiple indices/data streams together with a single name
* Change which indices/data streams your application uses in real time
* <<docs-reindex,Reindex>> data without downtime
