Timestamp vs unixtime

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I wanted to know if there was any elasticsearch magic that happened with
timestamps vs unixtime. I find it pretty easy to use timestamps and just
use interger math from there. It also makes range queries and the amount of
time between to points pretty easy to figure out. Is there any reason to
use a timestamp in elasticsearch instead of just an int for unixtime?

You can enable automatic timestamping
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/timestamp-field/ and
in queries, you can pass date formats, and let ES do the conversion.
