Can I use geo_point and index_name (to rename to the lat and lon fieldnames) together?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have data that includes a field that looks like this:

location: {
degreesLatitude: value
degreesLongitude: value
}

and I'd like to map it to a geo_point type in ES. I've been trying
something like this but the sub properties never make it into the ES
mappings.

"location":{
"type" : "geo_point",
"properties" : {
"degreesLatitude" : {
"type" : "double" ,
"index_name" : "lat"
},
"degreesLongitude" : {
"type" : "double" ,
"index_name" : "lon"
}
}
}

can anyone tell me if this should work? or how I can achieve my goal?
thanks.

At the moment, the names "lat" and "lon" are hardcoded in the parser that
parses incoming documents, so you will probably have to change your data.
