Alias argument respect for @Searchable but not respected for @Indexed

[sumitshatwara]

There is an alias argument inside @Indexed and @Searchable annotations, which can be used as alias for fields while creating Indexes. Variables in JSON can be both searchable and indexed. This alias argument works for Searchable annotation, but not for Indexed annotation.

@Kesseract can you post an example?

 Using alias inside @Indexed or @Searcable annotations, they are trying to separate/differentiate the field name defined in Java pojo and in Redis.
Consider a Java Pojo with following field and alias:
@Indexed(alias = "cityCd')
private String city_code;
Here the field name "city_code" is detached from the alias "cityCd" which will be saved in Redis, they can change the field name keeping the alias same and vice versa.

package com.redis.demo309;

import com.redis.om.spring.annotations.Document;
import com.redis.om.spring.annotations.Indexed;
import lombok.Data;
import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;

@Data
@Document
public class City {
  @Id
  private String id;

  @Indexed(alias = "cityCd")
  private String city_code;
}

produces:

"FT.CREATE" "com.redis.demo309.CityIdx" "ON" "JSON" "PREFIX" "1" "com.redis.demo309.City:" "LANGUAGE" "english" 
  "SCHEMA" 
  "$.city_code" "AS" "city_code" "TAG" "SEPARATOR" "|" 
  "$.id" "AS" "id" "TAG" "SEPARATOR" "|"

but if replaced with @Searchable you get:

"FT.CREATE" "com.redis.demo309.CityIdx" "ON" "JSON" "PREFIX" "1" "com.redis.demo309.City:" "LANGUAGE" "english" 
"SCHEMA" 
  "$.city_code" "AS" "cityCd" "TEXT" 
  "$.id" "AS" "id" "TAG" "SEPARATOR" "|"
