expand_wildcards:closed does not work to indices with alias

[childe]

If the index logstash-2015.04.14 has an alias named logstash-2015.04.14-test,
I could get result from logstash-*/_settings?expand_wildcards=closed.

I am not sure if it is bug ?

So the wildcard is matching the alias, which points to the closed index. Interesting...

We used not to check the state of concrete indices after aliases resolution, which might explain this behaviour. That should be fixed with #9057 though. @childe which version of elasticsearch are you running on?

1.4.4
I thought logstash-*/_settings?expand_wildcards=closed would NOT get result of open indices. am I right?
logstash-2015.04.14 is open , but i got it from the api.

I can confirm this is a bug, could repro with 1.5.1 too.

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/test
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/test/_alias/testaliasopen
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/testclosed
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/testclosed/_alias/testaliasclosed

#following call returns closed index too
curl 'localhost:9200/test*/_settings?pretty&expand_wildcards=open'

#following call returns open index too
curl 'localhost:9200/test*/_settings?pretty&expand_wildcards=closed'

This has been fixed in 2.2.0
