Can't use geo_shape index, elastic 2.1

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Not sure what is going on, I'm putting the data in the exact format the docs are asking for.

Mapping:
"properties": {
"annotations": {
"type": "geo_shape"
}
}

Data:
"annotations": {"type":"point","coordinates":[1.0,1.0]}

I get:
MapperParsingException[failed to parse [annotations]
]; nested: ElasticsearchParseException[shape must be an object consisting of type and coordinates];

When I look at the code throwing that exception, its failing to recognize the data as an object, but it clearly is an object

    public static ShapeBuilder parse(XContentParser parser, GeoShapeFieldMapper shapeMapper) throws IOException {
        if (parser.currentToken() == XContentParser.Token.VALUE_NULL) {
            return null;
        } else if (parser.currentToken() != XContentParser.Token.START_OBJECT) {
            throw new ElasticsearchParseException("shape must be an object consisting of type and coordinates");
        }

Hi Matt,

there must be a minor error in your mapping or in how you insert the document. Here is an example (tested with Elasticsearch 2.3):

create index:

POST /geo
{
   "mappings": {
      "type": {
         "properties": {
            "annotations": {
               "type": "geo_shape"
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

Add a document:

PUT /geo/type/1
{
   "annotations": {
      "type": "point",
      "coordinates": [1, 1]
   }
}

Retrieve it again with GET /geo/type/1:

Response:

{
   "_index": "geo",
   "_type": "type",
   "_id": "1",
   "_version": 1,
   "found": true,
   "_source": {
      "annotations": {
         "type": "point",
         "coordinates": [
            1,
            1
         ]
      }
   }
}

I hope this helps.

Daniel
