@ -10,6 +10,9 @@ JSON doesn't have a date data type, so dates in Elasticsearch can either be:
* a long number representing _milliseconds-since-the-epoch_.
* an integer representing _seconds-since-the-epoch_.
NOTE: Values for _milliseconds-since-the-epoch_ and _seconds-since-the-epoch_
must be non-negative. Use a formatted date to represent dates before 1970.
Internally, dates are converted to UTC (if the time-zone is specified) and
stored as a long number representing milliseconds-since-the-epoch.
