can't customize date type format when mapping types

[meejoe]

my mapping code:

indexes "createdAt" , "type" => "date" , "index" => "no",'format' => "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"

but actually the date type is stored with the default format:
format: dateOptionalTime
2012-03-13T11:22:42+08:00

@meejoe Did you try deleting and creating the index again after changing the mapping? If the mapping changes, the index has to be created again for the new changes to take effect.

Moreover you are using the default dateOptionalTime format itself :).

Please check the below links for reference.

@ovamsikrishna I'm afraid I didn't express the problem clearly.
The format property in the mapping, 'format' => "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", doesn't work.

@meejoe So, when you re-create the index with this mapping definition, you see dateOptionalTime when you query "myindex/_mapping"?

Can you turn on logging with Tire.configure { logger STDERR, level: "debug" } to see what is being sent to Elasticsearch?
