Alias filter with has_child

[mikiot]

I am using elasticsearch 1.4.0 and I want to create a filtered alias. All is fine until I try to add a has_child filter. The response returned from the server is:

{ "error": "ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[failed to parse filter for alias [<alias_name>]]; nested: QueryParsingException[[<index_name>] [has_child] query and filter requires a search context]; ", "status": 400 }

The filter works fine if I use it to filter the documents in the index. Are has_child filters supported when creating aliases?

@mikiot Thanks for reporting, I think that this is a regression bug.
