Is there any solution (special query or library, etc) to continous get new documents) as it created from an index? I know I can get new elements frequently with a crontab like polling, but i'm looking for a near real-time solution. ---

Elasticsearch exposes it's queries through a REST API - so whatever constraints apply to that also apply to Elasticsearch. If you don't want to save yourself some work, you might find [X-Pack Alerting](https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/alerting) helpful for your use-case. Hope this helps, Isabel ---
