[[mapping-date-format]]
== Date Format
In JSON documents, dates are represented as strings. Elasticsearch uses a set
of pre-configured format to recognize and convert those, but you can change the
defaults by specifying the `format` option when defining a `date` type, or by
specifying `dynamic_date_formats` in the `root object` mapping (which will
be used unless explicitly overridden by a `date` type). There are built in
formats supported, as well as complete custom one.
The parsing of dates uses http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/[Joda]. The
default date parsing used if no format is specified is
http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/api-release/org/joda/time/format/ISODateTimeFormat.html#dateOptionalTimeParser()[ISODateTimeFormat.dateOptionalTimeParser].
An extension to the format allow to define several formats using `||`
separator. This allows to define less strict formats that can be used,
for example, the `yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss||yyyy/MM/dd` format will parse
both `yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss` and `yyyy/MM/dd`. The first format will also
act as the one that converts back from milliseconds to a string
representation.

[[date-math]]
=== Date Math
The `date` type supports using date math expression when using it in a
query/filter (mainly makes sense in `range` query/filter).
The expression starts with an "anchor" date, which can be either `now`
or a date string (in the applicable format) ending with `||`. It can
then follow by a math expression, supporting `+`, `-` and `/`
(rounding). The units supported are `y` (year), `M` (month), `w` (week),
`d` (day), `h` (hour), `m` (minute), and `s` (second).
Here are some samples: `now+1h`, `now+1h+1m`, `now+1h/d`,
`2012-01-01||+1M/d`.
When doing `range` type searches with rounding, the value parsed
depends on whether the end of the range is inclusive or exclusive, and
whether the beginning or end of the range. Rounding up moves to the
last millisecond of the rounding scope, and rounding down to the
first millisecond of the rounding scope. The semantics work as follows:
* `gt` - round up, and use > that value (`2014-11-18||/M` becomes `2014-11-30T23:59:59.999`, ie excluding the entire month)
* `gte` - round D down, and use >= that value (`2014-11-18||/M` becomes `2014-11-01`, ie including the entire month)
* `lt` - round D down, and use < that value (`2014-11-18||/M` becomes `2014-11-01`, ie excluding the entire month)
* `lte` - round D up, and use <= that value(`2014-11-18||/M` becomes `2014-11-30T23:59:59.999`, ie including the entire month)
