Hi,

My use case is similar to this [Question](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/no-automatic-logstash-shutdown-on-elasticsearch-input-plugin/128887)  
and [this issue](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/periodically-run-elasticsearch-for-new-records-since-last-run/88700/6)  
I am trying to query an index for which i need only the new values based on a timefield.  
Is it possible to have a similar functionality like `sql_last_value` in JDBC input plugin?  
Or may be a query ?

Please help
