Geo bounding box search across anti-meridian

I'm testing the new geo-search in 0.10 and ran into an issue. It seems
that ES does not like bounding boxes that extend across the
antimeridian (180° meridian). If I specify a box with top left corner
to the left of the meridian, and bottom right on the right, it treats
it as if the box wrapped around the wrong (long) way around the Earth.

Example:

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bug/' -d'{ index:
{ number_of_shards: 1, number_of_replicas: 0 } }'
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bug/test/_mapping' -d '{
"test" : {
"properties" : {
"user" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "not_analyzed"},
"title" : {"type" : "string", "boost" : 2.0},
"notes" : {"type" : "string"},
"tags" : {"type" : "string", "index_name" : "tag"},
"created" : {"type" : "date", "format" : "YYYY-MM-DD
HH:mm:ss"},
"geo" : {"type" : "geo_point"},
"privacy" : {"type" : "integer"}
}
}
}'

curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/bug/test/1" -d'{"tags":
["geotagged", "w", "incendio", "puglia", "vacanze", "peschici",
"estate2007", "leconseguenzedellincendio"], "notes": "", "created":
"2007-08-22 02:52:15", "privacy": 1000, "user": "liberodicrederci",
"title": "incendio peschici", "geo": {"lat": 21.5, "lon": -158.2}}'

curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/bug/test/2" -d'{"tags":
["geotagged", "w", "incendio", "puglia", "vacanze", "peschici",
"estate2007", "leconseguenzedellincendio"], "notes": "", "created":
"2007-08-22 02:52:15", "privacy": 1000, "user": "liberodicrederci",
"title": "incendio peschici", "geo": {"lat": 29.5, "lon": -108.6}}'

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/bug/test/_search?pretty=true" -d'
{
"query": {
"constant_score": {
"filter": {
"geo_bounding_box": {
"geo": {
"top_left" : {
"lat" : 32.5,
"lon" : 169.1
},
"bottom_right" : {
"lat" : 5.8,
"lon" : -140.6
}
}
}
}
}
}
}'

This should return document 1, but instead returns document 2.

I think that's what is known as an edge case :slight_smile:

Would you mind opening an issue with a curl recreation?

thanks

Yeah, falling off the end of the world.

Hi,

Yea, it did not handle it correctly. I have just pushed a fix to it.
