Elasticsearch geo_point mapping issue

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm working on node js (version 6.1.0 ) application and using elasticsearch (version 5.0.1) in it. But I'm having issues in geo_point query.

The schema of my elasticsearch after assigning mapping is as follows,

{
"newtesting": {
	"aliases": {},
	"mappings": {
		"newtesting": {
			"properties": {
				"location": {
					"properties": {
						"pin": {
							"properties": {
								"location": {
									"type": "geo_shape"
								}
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
	},

and when I insert values through this code,

    PUT /newtesting/newtesting/1
{
"pin" : {
    "location" : {
        "lat" : 40.12,
        "lon" : -71.34
    }
}

}

then my mapping gets changed like this,

{
"newtesting": {
	"aliases": {},
	"mappings": {
		"newtesting": {
			"properties": {
				"location": {
					"properties": {
						"pin": {
							"properties": {
								"location": {
									"type": "geo_shape"
								}
							}
						}
					}
				},
				"pin": {
					"properties": {
						"location": {
							"properties": {
								"lat": {
									"type": "float"
								},
								"lon": {
									"type": "float"
								}
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
	},

Due to which my geo_point search query gives this error

"[query_shard_exception] failed to find geo_point field [pin.location]"

Anyone who has some idea about this?

Please don't post images of text as they are hardly readable and not searchable.

Instead paste the text and format it with </> icon. Check the preview window.

Please update your question.

Sorry for that, is it okay now?

Some comments.

The mapping you created indicates that you are writing (I think) in an index called newtesting and the document type is newtesting.

But then you index with PUT /my_locations/location/1 where index name is my_locations and type is location.

Are you sure your example is correct?

Could you provide a full recreation script as described in

It will help to better understand what you are doing.
Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.

sorry there was a typing mistake, see my example again

According to your mapping you should write:

PUT /newtesting/newtesting/1
{
"location" : {
  "pin" : {
    "location" : {
        "lat" : 40.12,
        "lon" : -71.34
    }
  }
}
