I've migrated last week 500M documents (100GB) of data from mongodb to ES. It's quite simple and straightforward. Used the bulk API. Just make sure to have a good machine (16vCPU) and use parallelization and just wait. after 24hours, it just works.

How do keep the ES index consistent with MongoDB?
That's only 200 bytes per document.

Can they be really considered 'documents' or are they actually database fields?

That's an average.
