Hello  
I want to use a field called "timestamp" as time series data.  
I'm using monstache to connect mongoDB and Elasticsearch.  
In mostache mapping file, I set type of timestamp to "date". But, in elastic index, type of timestamp is "text"

what's the wrong of this situation?

Did you create a mapping in Elasticsearch as well?
