Hi, I just tried to upgrade from elasticsearch 6.2.3 to elasticsearch 6.6.0.

After upgrade i find that i get no hits of older documents when using geo\_shape query.

I get a match for documents created after upgrade.

The index is still version 6.2.3. And the shape is mapped with:  
"shape" : {  
"type" : "geo\_shape",  
"tree\_levels" : 9,  
"points\_only" : true  
}

I've tried many different geo\_shape queries but no one seems to get a hit. And there's no error in my elasticsearch log.

I realize that one solution would be to reindex all indices but can't afford the downtime it would require in production.

Looks like a bug to me.

Exact same issue for me after upgrading from 6.5.4 to 6.6.0 on ES Cloud.

Moreover, it is not clear from the [6.6 breaking changes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/breaking-changes-6.6.html#_changed_default_literal_geo_shape_literal_indexing_strategy) what needs to be done to make pre-6.6. shapes compatible with 6.6.

Please advise.

I've asked someone to look at this, but it might also be worth raising an issue on GtitHub as well 🙂
