Accessing date field in a native (Java) script

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I haven't been able to find any examples about how to access to a date
field inside a java native script.
I have a 'datePublished' field defined as following in the mapping:

mappings: {

  • doc: {
    • properties: {
      • ...
      • datePublished: {
        • format: dateOptionalTime
        • type: date
          }
          }
          }

}

However, inside the class:

public class ScoreByAgeScript extends AbstractDoubleSearchScript {

public ScoreByAgeScript(@Nullable Map<String,Object> params) {
    ...
}

@Override
public double runAsDouble() {
        Object datePublishedStr = source().get(fieldDate); // => Get a

string 2013-07-07T12:00:00
Object datePublishedDoc = doc().get(fieldDate); // => Get a
list of strings [00, 03, 07t12, 2013]
}

}

I have been able only to the string text.
I could eventually parse the text to a Date Java object but I would prefer
to avoid it, avoiding any problem about string format or timezone, etc..
Is there any way to get the java date Object?
Thanks
Niccolo

If you do something like this, you should get the epoch value in
milliseconds. Then you can use that value to initialize whatever object you
want:

          ScriptDocValues v = (ScriptDocValues) doc().get(dateField);
          if (v != null && !v.isEmpty()) {
            long epoch_ms = ((Longs)v).getValue();
          }

Sorry Bihn,
just seen now your suggestion but It doesn't work.
For a field* "datePublished: {format: dateOptionalTime, type: date}"* when
I perform:

ScriptDocValues v = (ScriptDocValues) doc().get(dateField);

I got an object
org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.ScriptDocValues$Strings@5e834b36 that's
containing the following strings:

[01, 12, 15z, 2014, 30t10]

For the following date 2014-01-30T10:12:15Z stored in ES. I don't know how
to fix it.
Thanks a lot
Niccolo'
