When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

It's a common misconception that [William Shakespeare][1] and [Miguel de Cervantes][2] died on the same day in history - so much so that UNESCO named April 23 as [World Book Day because of this fact][3]. However because England hadn't yet adopted [Gregorian Calendar Reform][4] (and wouldn't until [1752][5]) their deaths are actually 10 days apart. Since Ruby's Time class implements a [proleptic Gregorian calendar][6] and has no concept of calendar reform then there's no way to express this. This is where DateTime steps in:

>> shakespeare = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ENGLAND)
=> Tue, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
>> cervantes = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ITALY)
=> Sat, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000

If you want, I can try and help with pointers as to how to improve the indexing speed you get. Its quite easy to really increase it by using some simple guidelines, for example:

- Use create in the index API (assuming you can).
- Relax the real time aspect from 1 second to something a bit higher (index.engine.robin.refresh_interval).
- Increase the indexing buffer size (indices.memory.index_buffer_size), it defaults to the value 10% which is 10% of the heap.
- Increase the number of dirty operations that trigger automatic flush (so the translog won't get really big, even though its FS based) by setting index.translog.flush_threshold (defaults to 5000).
- Increase the memory allocated to elasticsearch node. By default its 1g.
- Start with a lower replica count (even 0), and then once the bulk loading is done, increate it to the value you want it to be using the update_settings API. This will improve things as possibly less shards will be allocated to each machine.
- Increase the number of machines you have so
