I need to construct a query that will return a list of gaps in sequence numbers in timeseries data. This question was asked a few years ago [Detecting gaps in numeric range using ElasticSearch](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/detecting-gaps-in-numeric-range-using-elasticsearch/100138) but never received any replies.

Has anyone found a solution to this?
