Subject: [PATCH] Add error handling to GetIndicesPointingToAlias.
 /wrongname/_aliases used to return an empty array (e.g. in ES 0.20) for a
 non-existing alias, but in more recent ES versions (0.90) it returns
 {"error":"IndexMissingException[[wrongname] missing]","status":404} So we
 need to add explicit error handling here, otherwise GetIndicesPointingToAlias
 returns two "indices" called "error" and "status".
