Elasticsearch date format mapping

Question

So, i have the following date format which i want to import in elasticsearch as a date field :

2015-01-12T03:00:00

Unfortunately, this format is not recognised by elasticsearch with the following mapping :

{
    "mappings": {
      "veenendaal_type_new": {
        "properties": {
          "1061_Mundo_Sport_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1076_We_Veenendaal_Bernard_van_Kreelpoort": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1103_V&D_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1167_Action_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1171_Speksnijder_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1178_Ingang_Corridor_t_h_v__C&A_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1181_Ingang_Corridor_t_h_v__Bart_Smit_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1183_De_Heren_van_XVII_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1184_Corridor_t_h_v__CandyShop_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1186_Corridor_t_h_v__Het_Goudhaantje_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1188_Takko_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1212_De_Cultuurfabriek_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1216_Jac_Hensen_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "1505_Floral_Haircare_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "201_WE_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "940_HEMA_Veenendaal": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "Tijdsperiode": {
            "type": "date"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }  

Elasticsearch returns this error :

MapperParsingException[failed to parse [Tijdsperiode]]; nested: IllegalArgumentException[Invalid format: "2015-01-12T03:00:00" is malformed at "T03:00:00"];

My question is, how can i make this format (2015-01-12T03:00:00) valid for elasticsearch?

Answer 1

Use this in your index definition :

"Tijdsperiode": { "type": "date", "format": "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ" }

or maybe

"format": "date_time_no_millis"

Answer 2

在php中，如下所示：

date("c", $date_string);//ISO 8601 2004-02-12T15:19:21+00:00
