Hi,  
I have a little poblem with the "Points of LinearRing do not form a closed linestring" error. My polygon is correctly closed.  
Here is the polygon :

> {  
> "elasticsearch\_maj" : "2016-11-24 15:14:16",  
> "geopolygon" : {  
> "type" : "polygon",  
> "coordinates" : [https://codepen.io/Gattou/pen/XNgREX](https://codepen.io/Gattou/pen/XNgREX)  
> }  
> }

The polygon is in the HTML section of codepen because its above 5000 chars.

I tried my polygon in [http://geojsonlint.com/](http://geojsonlint.com/) and it works fine, but i cannot index it.

> {  
> "type": "Polygon",  
> "coordinates": [https://codepen.io/Gattou/pen/XNgREX](https://codepen.io/Gattou/pen/XNgREX)  
> }

Is there a limit to the polygon size or a limit to the number of points ? It looks like the polygon is not totally parsed and throws the error.

Thanks Alex
