Hi Team,

I have a use case like, I have to get the document for every 6 hours  
I do like creationDate \>= current\_timestamp - interval '6 hour' in DB  
But how do I get this in elastic search ?  
My mapping  
"creationDate": {  
"type": "date",  
"format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",  
"doc\_values": true  
},  
I am using elasticsearch 1.3.7  
Kindly anybody help me on this..  
Thanks in advance.
