For the context of real estate rental, I am provided among the data of each property to rent a string of 365 characters, which globally defines if the property to rent is free or not on the days of the year represented.  
I could make a data table that contains 365 entries but first I would like some advice on how best to map these values and queries.  
Thank you very much for the opinions on the different ways of doing things.

Have a look at [date\_range](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/range.html) data type. That might be the right candidate for your use case.

In fact, my chain of 365 characters will contain letters exclusively with for example F for free or B for busy. I don't know in which direction to start

I'd convert this string as an array of availabilities before indexing the document.

Thank you, I'll go in that direction.
