ES|QL HOUR function

Extracts the hour of day from a date.

Embedded
date

Date expression. If null, the function returns null.

Extracts the hour of day (0-23) from a date, using the query time zone. Equivalent to DATE_EXTRACT("hour_of_day", date). This function accepts a date or date_nanos value. Unix timestamps in seconds must be converted first. For example: TO_DATETIME(start * 1000). This extract is cyclic: HOUR(ts) > 9 is not rewritten to a timestamp range.
