It appears from this that aliases are recursive (sort of) and that isn't
documented.

Thanks, Erick.
The main reason that we assigned the alias this way was for consistency.
The consistency of communicating with the administrators that actually
maintain the solr instances in our QA and production clouds. They know very
little about solr. It was useful to have all the interfaces in p
SOLR-11488 is there so we formalize what we intend here. For instance,
at one point we discovered that you could have an alias pointing to
collection1,collection2 then delete collection2 say. Solr was happy in
that configuration but it made no sense. See SOLR-11218.
So I don't know what the eventu
It seems like a useful feature, especially for migrating from standalone to
solrcloud, at least if the precedence of alias to collection is defined and
enforced.

I just discovered some odd behavior with aliases.
We are in the process of converting over to use aliases in solrcloud. We
have a number of collections that applications have referenced the
collections from when we used standalone solr. So we created alias names to
match the name that the java app
