we currently want to move from ES7.17 to 8.1. so far everything went fine but one application seeding the data on geolocations fails with an error currently on our test system

```auto
unsupported_operation_exception: CIRCLE geometry is not supported

```

```auto
C#:
[GeoShape(Strategy = GeoStrategy.Recursive)]
 public CircleGeoShape Location { get; set; }

mapping: 
"location": {
    "type": "geo_shape",
    "strategy": "recursive"
},

Data saving:
"location": {
    "type": "circle",
    "coordinates": [
        -122.431297,
        37.773972
    ],
    "radius": "10"
}

```

Could someone help me to resolve this? I can not find out any c# code to migrate it to the circle processor

See [Geoshape field type | Elasticsearch Guide [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.1/geo-shape.html#_circle) and check out the circle ingest processor.

Thanks. I already read this topic but I can not find out any sample code to migrate this field. In NEST SDK v7.17 I don't see any property to assign the radius. Do you have any idea?
