JMeter with Elasticsearch as data source

I am capturing http traffic using Packetbeat. The captured traffic is stored in Elasticsearch and consists of SOAP requests (including request body, headers etc). In total I have about 500 million requests in the database at any given time.

My goal is to replay a specific timespan worth of requests (~ 30 million requests) using JMeter. I would like to use something like the Throughput Shaping Timer (https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/ThroughputShapingTimer/). So far I have no good idea how to get the data into a JMeter test plan. Any suggestions?

The standard csv approach seems subpar because:
1. Generating a csv-File containing 30 million requests including the request body seems shitty considering I already have the requests in a database
2. The timespan from which I select requests will change consistently. So I would have to generate lots of csv-Files

Thanks!

Well, for that much record set you need to create the data source of millions of record set and csv is the best option. I have created so many test plans in my career and found csv data source is quite significant. I would recommend to use csv for manipulating in your elastic search.
