Script to compare dates

[Islam_Elshobokshy]

I would like to compare an elastic search date with a format YYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS as to compare the results of the past 30 days. So if the given date is equal to NOW()-30D it should give me the result wanted. I have tried comparing it this way with a script but it doesn't work :

getMillis(doc["date"].value) >= (new Date().getTime() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) ? 1 : 0

Another test not working :

doc["date"].value >= (new Date().getTime() - 30) ? 1 : 0

This should do this : If doc["date"].value is higher or equal to the last 30 days it should give me 1, else it would give me 2.

How can I achieve that?

What kind of script are you trying to use?

@rjernst I'm using groovy scripting

What version of elasticsearch? I recommend switching to elasticsearch 5+, as that has painless, which has the java 8 time api available, and is much easier to work with IMO.

@rjernst I'm limited to Elasticsearch 1.9 as the server of my company won't handle a higher version. There isn't a way to do it with groovy? As I suppose comparing an elasticsearch date with the date of the last 30 days should be doable.
