Hi All,
I need a facet that does exactly what Date Histogram Facet does, but I need
a different (complicated) "monthly" bucketing.
Rather than the start/end of every month, I need a monthly period that
begins/ends on "the friday before the 2nd wednesday" of every month....
Its been a little while since I last used Elastic - any pointers on how to
go about this?
Many thanks.

Hey,
you can use the range facet, as it also supports dates and provide your own
custom date ranges there maybe?

Thanks. It turns out that I have to create custom date ranges anyway - as
the buckets are not uniform.
