Hi All,

I'm using Elasticsearch for searching by Geo Point, and I am experiencing a  
very weird issue. Sometimes my search works fine, but suddenly, for no  
obvious reasons it starts throwing an internal Elasticsearch error:

_java.lang.NumberFormatException: empty String_

I am pretty much sure that my data hasn't changed, it's valid, I can search  
it using other queries and filters, so it's not my data issue. The error is  
intermittent, so I cannot even make a reproducible example (I wasted a few  
hours for trying doing that with no success).  
I am using the MongoDB river plugin to populate the Elasticsearch index and  
it makes creating a curl recreation even more difficult task.  
I was able to reproduce this error having one single item in my index, but  
when I create a new index with identical settings and curl that document in  
it just works. When I took that item and simply re-inserted it into the  
original index via curl -X PUT it started working there too. After that I  
wasn't able to reproduce the error even doing complete repopulating my  
database and making it replicated to Elastic via rivers.  
It was gone for about 3 days and today I got it as well. Upgrading from  
0.90.3 to 0.90.5 din't help.  
I tried to look through the Elasticsearch source codes hoping that I could  
potentially understand what could cause that error in order to at least  
find proper reproducing steps, but unfortunately I had to gave up -  
rummaging in elastic guts turned our to be too tough exercise to me 🙂

Please help me to understand what can cause this error. Is it Elastic bug  
or mongodb-river bug or may be it's just me being doing something stupid.  
I'm stuck and it's a blocking issue to me. Thank you in advance!

Here's my setup:

_A document:_

Hey,

can you create a github issue for this one?  
Minor question: Do you index am empty location field array somewhere?
