I know exactly what to visualize. As I wrote, it is the latest result of the 
Flink job I would like to visualize. There is no need to use elastic to find it 
first.

The data I have is of such a  nature that  they every 10 seconds could be 
written into a file, meaning that the file at all times would contain the most 
recent results (at latest 10 seconds old). I am not interested in the history, 
and therefore I should think elastic is not the best fit. So my question is if 
anyone knows of a component (Apache or other) that can make the visualization a 
little nicer than just the file :-)
