So I see the elasticsearch claims to use "GeoJSON" as the format for
indexing... but when I look at the docs.. the same it gives is:
{
"location" : {
"type" : "polygon",
"coordinates" : [
[[100.0, 0.0], [101.0, 0.0], [101.0, 1.0], [100.0, 1.0], [100.0, 0.0] ]
]
}
}
Doesn't GeoJSON look like this?
{
"type": "Feature",
"properties": {
"name": "Sparkle",
"age": 11
},
geometry: {
"type" : "polygon",
"coordinates" : [[[100.0, 0.0], [101.0,0.0], [101.0, 1.0], [100.0],
[100.0, 0.0]]]
}
}
My question is how do I index polygons in elasticsearch if I want to attach
properties to it? If I wanted to perform a bulk load for example, what does
one document look like that has polygon information that I can perform
geospatial queries on?

Can additional, searchable properties fields be added to this? Say I wanted
to do a geosearch by location and by time property?
Is it recommended to shove it into a properties: {} field like geojson? Or
is it supposed to be peer to location or does it not really matter?
