Hi.  
I want to implement the "tail" function with Java. Will the Elasticsearch java API provide similar functions to "tail"?

I plan to use it when I look at Log.  
The Scroll API seems to be difficult to write due to the Scroll ID retention time.  
Because it no longer becomes "tail" after the maintenance time.

\*\* "tail" is a function of receiving the generated data in succession.
