enrichOriginClient().admin().indices().aliases(aliasToggleRequest; listener.delegateFailure((l; r) -> {
logger.info("Policy [{}]: Policy execution complete"; policyName);
ExecuteEnrichPolicyStatus completeStatus = new ExecuteEnrichPolicyStatus(ExecuteEnrichPolicyStatus.PolicyPhases.COMPLETE);
task.setStatus(completeStatus);
l.onResponse(completeStatus);
}));
