Hi, I have a field called 'lieux' which have multiple GeoPoint. I want to write a scriptField to calculate the minimum distance between a point and 'lieux' field. But I didn't find how I can solve this problem ? If I iterate on my lieux field, the array returned is not a GeoDistance object anymore so I can't use arcDistance. I tried to use org.elasticsearch... Distance but it doesn't work as well.. Could someone help me ? Thanks in advance ! ---

Would you mind posting a minimal set of documents and the query you have so far so it's easier to reproduce your problem? ---
