Topic: precision of DateTime datatype and search parameter


view this post on Zulip Georg Fette (Jan 22 2019 at 08:21):

Hello, The datatype datetime may have a precision containing nanoseconds (e.g. 2017-01-01T00:00:00.000Z). The search api parameter for datetimes, however, is restricted to seconds for its maximum precision. Why is there a discrepancy between those two precisions ?
Greetings

no one identified a need, and some implementations identified precision issues
