Summary

When you are searching multiple indices and they are using a mix of date and date_nanos, the sort order is not correct. The reason is that the internal representation is a long since the start of the epoche for both, but because of the different precision this doesn't sort correctly. Elasticsearch has added a workaround for that in 7.2 with an option "numeric_type": "date_nanos" to cast everything to nanosecond precision. This PR adds this option for searches within Discover.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Mapping
PUT timestamp-millis
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "timestamp": {
        "type": "date"
      }
    }
  }
}

PUT timestamp-nanos
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "timestamp": {
        "type": "date_nanos"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Sample documents:
PUT timestamp-millis/_doc/1
{
  "timestamp": "2019-01-01T12:10:30.123Z"
}

PUT timestamp-millis/_doc/2
{
  "timestamp": "2019-01-01T12:10:30.124Z"
}

PUT timestamp-nanos/_doc/3
{
  "timestamp": "2019-01-01T12:10:30.123456789Z"
}

PUT timestamp-nanos/_doc/4
{
  "timestamp": "2019-01-01T12:10:30.123498765Z"
}
  1. Sort in Discover (format in the index pattern is switched to Date Nanos):

discover-nanos

Fixes #43939

The code looks and testing this in Chrome (I had to change my timezone to Europe/Athens from America/Phoenix), the fix works as expected.
@kertal is there an issue for the timezone bug with 'America/Phoenix' registering date nano timestamps as before epoch time?

Could we move this code into the getSort function itself? getSort is used in the search panel in Dashboard as well so I suspect putting this in the Discover controller means the sorting still won't work in Dashboard.

Thanks Bargs, yes this needs to be adapted , I already did . I initially built this in the getSort function, but this broke functionality like changing the sort order in the doc table. So I thought, better add this change before setting the sort of searchSource, since it's only relevant for Elasticsearch. Now I've extracted this to a separate function getSortForSearchSource, adapted also for dashboard. works

👍 Tina, yes, there's an ElasticSearch issue, I'll ask when aggregation with date_nanos will work worldwide
