A virtual collection name that refers to a real collection is referred to as an alias. It’s very similar to how symbolic links work on Linux. When you want to reindex your data in the background on a new collection and switch your application to it without making any code changes, aliases may come in very handy.Let’s take a look at an brief example.Assume we have a collection called “newsletter_feb9” and an alias called newsletter that points to it. collection ---> "newsletter_feb9" We’ll create a new collection called “newsletter_feb10” the next day (February 10) and begin indexing the documents in the background into this collection. If we updated the companies alias to point to this new collection after we finished indexing, your application would immediately start querying against the newly indexed collection.

collection ---> "newsletter_feb10"

Now, Let’s look at how to make, update, and manage aliases now.
