I am trying to visualize my data and it's frequency changes in milli seconds.  
Can anyone tell me how to deal with this problem?

Why does it show an error?

[Mapping](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping.html) is the process of defining how a document, and the fields it contains, are stored and indexed. Date fields are mapped with the [Date type](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/date.html). The error is displayed because a field value of -764144999882 is not a valid value when using `epoch_millis` format.

Thanks for getting back  
When i convert this epoch i.e. 764144999882  
it comes out to be 1994 11:59:59.882 this. This nowhere even close to time\_stamp field I am using in my dataset.  
Can you tell me how can i fix this issue?
