Hi,

I don't know for indexes such as ElasticSearch, but at least for 
e-commerce shops, it is a bad idea to export all the products at once: 
if an export of a product fails, your export could be blocked / stopped 
in the middle. Having a job per product to export is a way to ensure 
atomicity of the tasks.

Having jobs triggered on events is also a way to export only the new / 
modified products, instead of pushing the whole catalog each time.

Now, if you want to do 1 job for all the products, you can create your 
own 'ConnectorUnit' class which takes a list of ids instead of an ID.

Best,
