**I am getting mapping exception in ES:**

**The mapping:**

{  
"template": "logstash_omniclient_",  
"settings": {  
"number\_of\_shards": 1  
},

"latitude" : { "type" : "float" },  
"longitude" : { "type" : "float" }  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

**The Logstash output:**

"geoip" =\> {

"ip" =\> "73.106.71.62",  
"latitude" =\> 33.7844,

],  
"postal\_code" =\> "30083",  
"longitude" =\> -84.2135,  
"region\_code" =\> "GA"  
},

Any idea?

Thanks
