Hi,

i'm trying to filter by geo\_distance, but always geting error (logs) "Failed  
to parse source"

i have query:

{  
"query": {  
"filtered" : {  
"query" : {  
"field" : {  
"\_all" : "test~0.3"  
}  
},  
"filter" : {  
"term" : { "model" : "company" }  
}  
}  
}  
}

..which work fine, then i add geo\_distance

{  
"query": {  
"filtered" : {  
"query" : {  
"field" : {  
"\_all" : "test~0.3"  
}  
},  
"filter" : {  
"geo\_distance" : {  
"distance" : "200km",  
"location" : {  
"lat" : 40,  
"lon" : -70  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

i get Failed to parse source

i mapped location as geo\_point type

what am i doing wrong?
