Importing Repeater Fields within WP-CLI

I can import no problem using something like this

$meta = array( 'title' => 'This is a title' );
$command = "post create --porcelain --post_type=event --post_status=publish --post_title='" . $event['TITLE'] . "' --meta_input=" . escapeshellarg( json_encode( $meta ) ) . "";

I am trying to import data for repeater fields, but it’s not working. Here are some examples of things I tried.

$meta = array(
	'title' => 'title',
	'date_times' => array( 'start' => '2018-04-21 16:25:36', 'end' =>'2018-06-21 16:25:36' ),
);
$command = "post create --porcelain --post_type=event --post_status=publish --post_title='" . $event['TITLE'] . "' --meta_input=" . escapeshellarg( json_encode( $meta ) ) . "";

$meta = array(
	'title' => 'title',
	'date_times_0_start' => '2018-04-21 16:25:36',
	'date_times_0_end' => '2018-04-25 16:25:36',
);

$command = "post create --porcelain --post_type=event --post_status=publish --post_title='" . $event['TITLE'] . "' --meta_input=" . escapeshellarg( json_encode( $meta ) ) . "";

Is this possible to use WP-CLI to import data into a repeater field?

Thank you!
