Date Range Query without result

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
on elastic 6.1.2 a range query by date does not give a result, hope anybody can help.

Here is the query:

      GET /test_index/_search 
      {
        "query" : {
          "range" : {
            "testDate" : {
              "gte" : "2012-01-01 22:13:22",
              "lt" : "now"
            }
          }
        }
      }

Here the mapping definition of the field testDate:

      "testDate": {
        "type": "date",
        "format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
      },

And here an example record:

  {
    "_index": "test_index",
    "_type": "doc",
    "_id": "0",
    "_score": 1,
    "_source": {
      "field1": "value 0",
      "field2": "other_value 0",
      "field3": "staticValue",
      "testInteger": 0,
      "active": true,
      "testDate": "2018-01-21 17:30:29",
      "title-suggest": "value 0 other_value 0",
      "description_de_DE|SHOP": "value 0 other_value 0",
      "title_de_DE|SHOP": "value 0"
    }
  },

Any idea?

This works well:

DELETE test
PUT test
{
  "mappings": {
    "doc": {
      "properties": {
        "testDate": {
          "type": "date",
          "format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
PUT test/doc/1
{
  "testDate": "2018-01-21 17:30:29"
}
GET test/_search
{
  "query": {
    "range": {
      "testDate": {
        "gte": "2012-01-01 22:13:22",
        "lt": "now"
      }
    }
  }
}

It gives:

{
  "took": 2,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
    "total": 5,
    "successful": 5,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "hits": {
    "total": 1,
    "max_score": 1,
    "hits": [
      {
        "_index": "test",
        "_type": "doc",
        "_id": "1",
        "_score": 1,
        "_source": {
          "testDate": "2018-01-21 17:30:29"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Tested on 6.1.1. Note that elasticsearch considers at index time your date as a UTC date if you don't define any timezone. Which might be your issue...

this is strange. Your example works in my system either.

So the difference to my failing example is, that there i am creating the data inside a java application by using the rest client. Inside elastic they are looking quite similar, though.

That's often the case. Pasted code is not the exact code ran.

What gives:

GET test/_mapping

mapping of test:

  {
    "test": {
      "mappings": {
        "doc": {
          "properties": {
            "testDate": {
              "type": "date",
              "format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

mapping of test_index, where testDate looks similar to me

{
  "test_index": {
    "mappings": {
      "doc": {
        "properties": {
          "active": {
            "type": "boolean"
          },
          "category_ids_de_DE|SHOP": {
            "type": "text",
            "fields": {
              "keyword": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 256
              }
            }
          },
          "dateField2": {
            "type": "long"
          },
          "description_de_DE|SHOP": {
            "type": "text",
            "fields": {
              "keyword": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 256
              }
            }
          },
          "field1": {
            "type": "text",
            "fields": {
              "keyword": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 256
              }
            }
          },
          "field2": {
            "type": "text",
            "fields": {
              "keyword": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 256
              }
            }
          },
          "field3": {
            "type": "text",
            "fields": {
              "keyword": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 256
              }
            }
          },
          "testDate": {
            "type": "date",
            "format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
          },
          "testInteger": {
            "type": "long"
          },
          "title-suggest": {
            "type": "completion",
            "analyzer": "simple",
            "preserve_separators": true,
            "preserve_position_increments": true,
            "max_input_length": 50
          },
          "title_de_DE|SHOP": {
            "type": "text",
            "fields": {
              "keyword": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 256
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Are you doing that in an integration test by any chance?
