Date and geo types #

date #

A date-time value. Internally stored as epoch milliseconds; accepted input depends on the field’s format (default strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis), so both ISO-8601 strings ("2024-06-15T10:30:00Z") and raw millisecond integers work. Used by date range, date histogram aggregations and sort.
