Lucene version 6.x introduced PointValues allowing to persist multi-dimensional values, including but not limited to `BinaryPoint`. According to the official documentation of Lucene, a BinaryPoint is `An indexed binary field.`.

Hence, I'd like to know the following: 1) using the Python ElasticSearch client, how can I insert and index multi-dimensional binary points?, 2) are BinaryPoints made searchable using the `org.apache.lucene.index.PointValues` interface?
