I'm not sure that this is possible, have not found anything so figured I'd toss it out to the community.

Suppose I have data that has a date/time component as well as a separate value, something like this:

```
{ 
   "values": [
      { "date": "2015-01-01T12:34:56", "value": "apple" },
      { "date": "2011-05-05T14:50:00", "value": "orange" },
      { "date": "2009-09-09T09:32:38", "value": "banana" }
  ] }

```

Or something like that. if I wanted to set up a query that took into account both the 'date' and 'value' attributes of an individual value object, is that possible?

Meaning say I wanted to run a query that returned documents with `value` of apple and `date` greater than the year 2014, it should return the above document because it has a single `values[]` entry containing that, but if I ran the same type of query with a `value` of apple and `date` less than the year 2014 it should _not_ return the above document because those values don't exist in the same object.

Is that even possible? I don't think it is, but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask.
