Give a brief description of your request.
This is a new feature: Point in Time allows users to run different queries against the same fixed data set in time. Point in time only takes data into account up until the moment it is created. Hence, none of the resources that are required to return the data from the initial request are modified or deleted. Segments are retained, even though the segment might already have been merged away and is not needed for the live data set. In short, Point in Time Search allows user to maintain a state which can be re-used by different queries in order to achieve consistent results.
