Description

ElasticSearch supports [aliasing indices](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.10/indices-aliases.html). We could have alises for each view using a counter, which will then increate the amount of indices supported by AggregateElasticSearchView

Research direction

Start by locating AggregateElasticSearchView and reviewing how it limits the number of views or indices. Then read the linked Elasticsearch aliasing documentation and determine how aliases and a counter could support each view. Done means the view limit is increased without breaking existing behavior, with tests covering the new capacity.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
