Hi,  
I am fairly new to elasticsearch and I am trying to index a million  
residences with their geolocation for context suggester capabilities. The  
size of the index seems to be 1GB per million residences which seems  
exceptionally large to me. Without the geo context the size is roughly  
200MB per million residences. Can someone explain why adding the geo  
context increases the size of the index by such a large factor.

Thanks,  
Bhuvan
