We want to keep track of all the changes of a document, so we want to store all the document versions in separate index.  
Is there a way when a new document is added or changes to send the entire document in another index? Maybe there is a processor for this use case?

I think the closest you could get with ingest processors would be [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/pipeline-processor.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/pipeline-processor.html)
