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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

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.

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.

Any luck Ben? Looks like I posted a similar question.
