Convert an index alias to a data stream Added in 7.9.0
Converts an index alias to a data stream.
You must have a matching index template that is data stream enabled.
The alias must meet the following criteria:
The alias must have a write index;
All indices for the alias must have a @timestamp
field mapping of a date
or date_nanos
field type;
The alias must not have any filters;
The alias must not use custom routing.
If successful, the request removes the alias and creates a data stream with the same name.

The write index for the alias becomes the write index for the stream.
