Why do you want to create huge number of indexes on just a single node? There are smarter methods to scale. Use over-allocation of shards. This is explained by kimchy in this thread
http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Over-allocation-of-shards-td3673978.html TL;DR you can create many thousands of aliases on a single (or few) indices with just a few shards. There is no limit defined by ES, when your configuration / hardware capacity is exceeded, you will see the node getting sluggish.
