I am trying to keep a UI Table up-to-date with records that are in a certain index, displaying oldest first, newest last.
A new record is added to the index ever 1-2 seconds.
What is the best way to page or scroll as to keep the UI updated?
I have the idea to try to use the Scroll API, but I'm not sure if more records are added to the index between successive scroll_id requests, if the server will adjust to be sure I get every last record added since the initial request, or, if I will only get (scroll) up to the last record that was present when the initial scroll request was issued.
Thanks in advance for the help.

There isn't. The search results are isolated, whether you are paging or scrolling.
It sounds like you want some kind of pub-sub functionality. Elasticsearch doesn't work this way.
The closest thing I can think of would be for something in your platform to handle both searches and indexing, so that it could create a percolator for every search, percolate every indexed document, and update the appropriate UI clients based on the results of the percolation.
Thanks for the reply! I know exactly how I'd do it in a pub/sub paradigm,
was just hoping I could skip that layer if there was similar functionality
native. Thanks for the help!
