I'd like to know how I can make Elasticsearch change the timezone of timestamps in query's response JSON by using any parameter, instead of using script fields. Is it possible?

I could make it consider the timezone in the query by using time\_zone parameter in range block, but it returns all timestamps in UTC, instead of following the same parameter.
