Hi,  
I have the documents storing on elastic search every hour and have the index as (testing-2018-03-12) which has some fields.  
How do I return only the last documents based on a field ?

Example:

Doc1:  
User: Paul  
age: 34  
Hours Logged: 8  
@timestamp: \*\*\*\*

Doc2:  
User: Paul  
age: 34  
Hours Logged: 8.5  
@timestamp: \*\*\*\*

Doc3:  
User: Kim  
age: 23  
Hours Logged: 4  
@timestamp: \*\*\*\*

Doc4:  
User: Kim  
age: 23  
Hours Logged: 3  
@timestamp: \*\*\*\*

How do I return the latest document for all the Users?
