Indexing a numeric range field

Hi!

I'm am looking for a way to index documents which contain numeric ranges.
E.g:

{

name: Document A
size: 100-200

}
{
name: Document B
size: 190-240
}
{
name: Document C
size: 230
}

I need to be able to query for a range so that all documents that have an
overlapping range will be returned:

195-220 should return A and B
230-235 should return B and C

I currently do not know of a way to index a range, only how to query for a
range.
Is anybody aware of a way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

You cannot index a range, but then you don't need to. You should look at
storing the range as two values, a range_floor, and a range_ceil. Then you
can use standard range filters in conjunction with a 'and' filter to find
what you're looking for. Be sure to read this blog post about caching
behavior and filters when used with ranges
(Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic).
