I'm trying to perform the following query with the Java API: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>"query": { "bool" : { "must" : [ { "field" : { "space-time-id.timestamp" : "2014-03-17T16:57:47.136-07:00" } } ] } } </code></pre> This fails presumably because the value has colons (which are special characters). Can someone point me to the Java API that escapes such characters?

You can also use <code>org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.standard.QueryParserUtil.escape()</code> ;) Looks like the implementation is the same..

What is the Java API to escape Elasticsearch special characters?

I'm trying to perform the following query with the Java API:

"query": {
  "bool" : {
    "must" : [ {
      "field" : {
        "space-time-id.timestamp" : "2014-03-17T16:57:47.136-07:00"
      }
    } ]
  }
}

This fails presumably because the value has colons (which are special characters). Can someone point me to the Java API that escapes such characters?
