In Elasticsearch, how can I apply a timezone to a scripted date operation?

Question

With the aggregation below and using ES5, I'd like to get the dayOfWeek & hourOfDay based on a given timezone (supplied as an identifier from the TZ database).

How can I edit "doc['created'].date.dayOfWeek' to adjust for the offset?

    aggs: {
      dayOfWeek: {
        terms: {
          script: {
            inline: "doc['created'].date.dayOfWeek",
            lang: 'painless',
          },
        },
        aggs: {
          hourOfDay: {
            terms: {
              script: {
                inline: "doc['created'].date.hourOfDay",
                lang: 'painless',
              },
            },
          },
        },
      },
    },

Found solution using painless. Because they are migrating elasticsearch from Joda to native java.time, the support for Joda is not good in painless.

{
  "size": 0,
  "aggregations": {
    "dayOfWeek": {
      "terms": {
        "script": {
          "inline": "Instant.ofEpochMilli(doc.created.date.millis).atZone(ZoneId.of(params.tz)).dayOfWeek",
          "params": {
            "tz": "Europe/London"
          }
        }
      },
      "aggs": {
        "hourOfDay": {
          "terms": {
            "script": {
               "inline": "Instant.ofEpochMilli(doc.created.date.millis).atZone(ZoneId.of(params.tz)).hour",
               "params": {
                  "tz": "Europe/London"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Something like this should work:

{
  "size": 0,
  "aggregations": {
    "dayOfWeek": {
      "terms": {
        "script": {
          "inline": "doc['created'].date.setZone(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.forID(tz)); doc['created'].date.dayOfWeek",
          "lang": "groovy",
          "params": {
            "tz": "Europe/London"
          }
        }
      },
      "aggs": {
        "hourOfDay": {
          "terms": {
            "script": {
              "inline": "doc['created'].date.setZone(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.forID(tz)); doc['created'].date.hourOfDay",
              "lang": "groovy",
              "params": {
                "tz": "Europe/London"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

You will probably need to enable inline scripting for groovy by adding script.engine.groovy.inline.aggs: on to the elasticsearch.yml file. See: This discussion.

Note. The above won't work with painless because it is locked down and does not allow you to edit the whitelist..
