Hello,  
I have this logstash configuration \>

```
input{
elasticsearch {
        hosts=> ["HOST_A"]
        index => "logstash-syslog-2016.11.17"
        query => '{"filter" : {
            "or" : [
                {
                    "term" : { "host.raw" : "HOST1" }
                },
                {
                    "term" : { "host.raw" : "HOST2" }
                },
                 {
                    "term" : { "host.raw" : "HOST3" }
                }

            ]
        }}'

        }
        }

output {
   file{
         path => "/etc/elk/logout/SR_17_11.log"
        }
}

```

But it takes too much time.  
Is there a way to do that query in a faster way?
