Pagination of continuously updating data

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am new to ES and have a requirement to store real-time data streams. This
is time-stamp based data.

Can anyone advise on the best way to support pagination given that the
results set will be updating continuously?

I understand that Twitter and Facebook etc use cursor based pagination. I
was wondering if there was a similar concept within ES?

Many thanks, Ben.

Hi Ben,
you can use a scroll search and keep in memory a certain point-in-time
snapshot of the index so that you get consistent pagination. It might be
expensive though. Check it out:

Thanks Luca.

I noticed on that page:

Scrolling is not intended for real time user requests

Unfortunately that's exactly what I require i.e. user driven request via
another API. I think I may have to look for some sort of time based
pagination instead.

Regards, Ben.
