Hi,  
according the [Documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html) I can use the parameter **index** for the field-type _geo\_point_.  
I use the Java-Client in Version 8.3.3 and a mapping like this (only a snippet):

```auto
"location": {
  "type": "geo_point",
  "index": false
}

```

But the result is the following exception:

```auto
co.elastic.clients.json.JsonpMappingException: Error deserializing
co.elastic.clients.elasticsearch._types.mapping.GeoPointProperty: Unknown field 'index'

```

However, when I look at the class [GeoPointProperty](https://artifacts.elastic.co/javadoc/co/elastic/clients/elasticsearch-java/8.4.0/co/elastic/clients/elasticsearch/_types/mapping/GeoPointProperty.html), I don't see an index field either (I looked also in the source-code). It seems to me that this field has been forgotten. Does anyone have an idea? This looks like a bug to me.
