The following snippet returns error reason **[date\_histogram] unknown field [hard\_bounds] did you mean [extended\_bounds]?**

```auto
{ date_histogram:
  { field: 'date',
    calendar_interval: 'day',
    hard_bounds: { min: '2020-11-04', max: '2020-11-09' }
  },
  ...

```

Documentation suggests this feature is available [Date histogram aggregation | Elasticsearch Guide [7.10] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.10/search-aggregations-bucket-datehistogram-aggregation.html#date-histogram-scripts)

> ...This histogram also supports the `extended_bounds` ..., and `hard_bounds` that limits the histogram to specified bounds

And github ticket appears to be merged [[7.x] Add hard\_bounds support for histogram field-based histograms (#64246) by imotov · Pull Request #64312 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/64312)

Env: Docker container running node:10

```auto
"@elastic/elasticsearch": "^7.10.0"

```

Is this feature not yet released or is there a bug?
