View Zipkin Data in Kibana as Event-based Data

See original GitHub issue

Currently Zipkin stores the timestamp field in Elastsearch as a long value. It does so to preserve the microsecond precision of the timestamp value.

However as a side effect, timestamp cannot be indexed as a date/time field and cannot be used as a time field when creating an index view in Kibana.

I’m not sure how to fix this issue in such away as to preserve the microsecond precision and allow for date/time indexing. One idea was to create a new field (timestamp_millis?) that would contain just the milliseconds from the timestamp field.
