Date field in elastic hive table is created as text in ES

[aliyesami (sami)]

any data that I insert in the hadoop Elasticsearch table in HIVE is being mapped as text .
I think that's why the date operations are not working on my Index.

0: jdbc:hive2://hadoop2:10000/default> desc pa_lane_txn_es;

I found the issue , I was creating the elastic hive table with date files as type "DATE" . I changed it to "TIMESTAMP" and now elasticsearch is showing date fields as date and not text.

    "txn_process_date" : {
        "type" : "date"
      }
    }
