Where do you want to consume the documents then? Write to a file? In an application?

You could read:

- [Get a consistent view of your data over time with the Elasticsearch point-in-time reader | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/get-a-consistent-view-of-your-data-over-time-with-the-elasticsearch-point-in-time-reader)
- [Point in time API | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/point-in-time-api.html)

Otherwise have a look at logstash with an Elasticsearch input whatever output you need.
