Hi.

I'm studying about elasticsearch now.  
I want to know that consisting the logical view is possible as an index using Elasticsearch.

my business is as below.

1. get two documents(having differences at some fields) into one with some fields likes composite key.
2. make the time value calculating with two document's timestamp during merge into one document.
3. make a logical view as an index.
4. use the index(logical view) in Kibana

I'm going to find the way by myself.  
but someone else already knows about that I'm happy very much.

Sounds like you might be interested in exploring [entity-centric indices](https://www.elastic.co/elasticon/2015/sf/building-entity-centric-indexes).
