So much pain on ES, query on date returns wrong results

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi support,

I am doing range query on date field, but it returns no expected result, any idea?

{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "filter": [
        {
          "range": {
            "booking.dealerIDUpdate": {
              "gte": "2017-11-29T00:00:00.000-0000",
              "lte": "2017-11-29T23:59:59.000-0500",
              "include_lower": true,
              "include_upper": true,
              "boost": 1,
              "time_zone": "-05:00"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Please format your code using </> icon as explained in this guide and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

```

```

Please edit your post.

Could you provide a full recreation script as described in About the Elasticsearch category. It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.

I am using QueryBuilders to create query, I dont' k

queryBuilder.filter(QueryBuilders.rangeQuery("booking.dealerIDUpdate").from(start).to(end).timeZone("America/New_York"));

how to set timezone? with this code, it always returns some data with 2017-11-28T19:30:00

saved date in ES 5.6, it will be returned by above query, reason?

"booking": {
"dealerIDUpdate": "2017-11-28T19:36:00.000-0500"
}

I can't tell without a full example.

Anyway, few things to know.
If you don't define a TZ when indexing a date like 2017-11-28T19:30:00 it is supposed to be a UTC based date. That might explain what you are seeing.

So I'd probably either set the right TZ when indexing and index something like 2017-11-28T19:30:00-0500. Or I'd not use TZ at all in the range query.
