Elasticsearch: Alias pointing to an alias

I am using ES aliases for decoupling index names with the application using ES

ALIAS NAME      INDEX NAME

user_index    - user
project_index - project
org_index     - org

Now I need another alias pointing to all the three aliases, to maintain one single point of search (for supporting existing APIs)

Can I have another alias pointing to all the three aliases here? Something like.

main_index __ user_index
           \__ project_index 
            \__ org_index

No, but you can have as many aliases as you want on your index. So, you can set an other alias "main_index" directly on your three index. Wouldn't that be enough to suit your needs?

No, unfortunately, this capability does not yet exist in Elasticsearch.

There is an outstanding issue requesting this capability. Please see Elasticsearch Issue #3138 for more details related to the requested functionality. Please note that this particular issue has been open for over a year, but there has not been any comment from anyone on the Elasticsearch development team. Therefore, I am not sure how long it will be until this capability is implemented within Elasticsearch.
