Hi @byronhe, This is not possible at the moment, more because this is a "meta" kind of field that's really specific to Elasticsearch and not so much to SQL in general. But, there is an enhancement request out there, if you'd like to watch it: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/30266](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/30266). ---
