I am using the version 7.15.2 and couldn't figure out how to use RangeQueryBuilder. Currently I am creating a JsonValue object and passing it to Query.Builder 's range method as below:

```auto
        final String json = "{ \"fld_date\": {\"gte\": \"2018-02-02T15:08:28Z\", \"lte\": \"2021-06-19T16:03:01.130Z\"}}";
        final JsonpMapper mapper = new JsonbJsonpMapper();
        final JsonParser parser = mapper.jsonProvider().createParser(new StringReader(json));
        final JsonData data = JsonData.from(parser, mapper);
        final JsonValue value = data.toJson(mapper);
 Query.Builder rangeBuilder = new Query.Builder();
rangeBuilder.range(value );

```
