implements StatusToXContentObject
    Response obtained from the get aliases API. The format is pretty horrible as it holds aliases, but at the same time errors can come back through the status and error fields. Such errors are mostly 404 - NOT FOUND for aliases that were specified but not found. In such case the client won't throw exception so it allows to retrieve the returned aliases, while at the same time checking if errors were returned. There's also the case where an exception is returned, like for instance an IndexNotFoundException. We would usually throw such exception, but we configure the client to not throw for 404 to support the case above, hence we also not throw in case an index is not found, although it is a hard error that doesn't come back with aliases.
