Does elastic search provide me an option of storing 10 billion historic data rows from relational database and can also capability of maintaining an additional 40 billion rows of next couple of years of data ?. If yes what would be the cost of the data ? and how would be my query response. Is this possible in Elastic search

It can probably store that amount, it'll depend on how big each row it is.

You should really test things to get an idea on how much it would cost and what sort of response you will get.

The amount of data Iam looking is about 8- 10 TB per 1 year. I want to keep this data for lifetime. Is that possible to query such kind of data.
