Hi,
I have a scenario in which elasticsearch indexing might stop and I need to
continue from that point, so I need to query elasticsearch for the last
indexed document id.
Thanks

Hi Ophir,
You could use the timestamp
field[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/timestamp-field/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/timestamp-field/)and
do a query, sorting on timestamp descending.
Best regards,
Radu
