Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm not totaly agree with you, for me , operation's retrieve should be decorrelated from the way that you give the indexed value. But as you had mentionned, and that was my main confusion, the _source contains the JSON provided. I was expecting that the returned value can be formated, or correspond to the format configuration gived in the mapping.
That's limit a lot the querying aspect. For me all that matters is the fact that you manipulate a Date type, you can put a long or a string formated date (in sevral way) value, both has to be indexed in the same way, and then when you extract the value, determine the way that the format will be in output. Date is a special case, it's not a "primitive" one, It has median way to store it (long), and I don't think that Elasticsearch manages it as a "Type" but only as a special String, or Long Type. (My hope is not the reference, and certainly I don't understand the main keys of Elasticsearch) To finish , as you advice, I will use only Long formated date (but that will be hard and not really proper). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
