Stemmed from several discussions on the mailing list regarding using the histogram facet on date fields, a new facet, called `date_histogram` is added supporting special date related features such as time zones and more interesting bucketing (like month or year). Here is the issue: [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/591](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/591). feedback is welcomed -shay.banon ---
