In the above example, the field is a <<mapping-geo-point-type>> and origin can be provided in geo format. `scale` and `offset` must be given with a unit in this case. If your field is a date field, you can set `scale` and `offset` as days, weeks, and so on. Example:

The format of the origin depends on the <<mapping-date-format>> defined in your mapping. If you do not define the origin, the current time is used.

In the second example, documents with a field value between 2013-09-12 and 2013-09-22 would get a weight of 1.0 and documents which are 15 days from that date a weight of 0.5.
