I have an elasticsearch index that is holding a `timeuuid` field that originally comes from cassandra. The type is `keyword` and it's named `event_ts`. Is it even possible to search elasticsearch index using `timeuuid` functionality such as what can be done in cassandra? If not, any plans to implement such functionality in the future?

IE) What I'm wanting to do in elasticsearch, example in cassandra:

```auto
SELECT * from table WHERE event_ts >= minTimeuuid('2020-09-01 00:00:00') AND event_ts <= minTimeuuid('2020-09-02 00:00:00');

```

No, this sounds like very Cassandra specific functionality.

I do not see what the benefits would be, so doubt this.
