Date vs date_range field

covolution · October 6, 2017, 4:01pm

I am wondering how to choose between using a standard date field and the new date_range field. Any advice?

A previous topic suggested that aggregations aren't supported on date_ranges, is this still the case?

If I have something like an event_date field for example, what factors should I weigh when choosing?
