Advice needed for geo search usage

I'm quite the newbie when it comes to elasticsearch or GIS matters, so
please excuse any dumb questions or misunderstandings.

I have two indices with one type each: one in which I store districts of a
certain kind with a geo_shape (multipolygons, mostly), another in which I
store some sort of POI with a geo point property.

I'd like to be able to retrieve all POIs inside a given district. I was
thinking of using the geoshape filter, unfortunately I cannot seem to use
it on geo points. I could convert my geo points to geo shapes, but it looks
like this would render the geo distance filter unusable, though I need it
as well.

Could anyone give me some advice on how to keep both functionalities
(filtering on points in an indexed polygon and on points within a certain
distance) ?

Thank you.

Hey,

you can also use geo_shapes instead of geo_points, as there is a specific
geo_shape from type point. Then your query should work.

Thanks for your answer. I was alluding to this possibility in my post, but
then, it looks to me like the geo distance filter won't work with
geo_shapes. Am I getting that wrong ?

Hey,

oh yes, misread that part. You could possibly index the point as a shape as
well as a geo_point and use the right one, whenever needed?
