I have a field mapped as geo\_point in my indices. A new index is created every day. In some of the indices the field was saved as a geo\_point field with coordinates, but now instead of a geo\_point, its lon and lat are getting saved as two multi-fields. So now i'm getting a conflict because the field is defined as several types. What could be causing this?
