Can scroll requests repeat the same document twice? What if the document was updated? I know it really isn't the same Lucene document the but I sure think of it as the same thing.

Hi Nik, Scroll requests operate on a point-in-time view of the index at the time when the scroll has been opened. So there can't be duplicates and if a document has been updated, Elasticsearch will returned the old version.
