Currently in the process of indexing data from Oracle and one of the properties is a "Coordinate" .  
we would like to be able to do a geo search on the field but since it is currently added as "long" as shown below , we are not able to perform a search using the field...

can we add mapping to set these properties to Geo\_Point, if so, does anyone have a good example?

"captureCoordinates" : {  
"properties" : {  
"sdoGtype" : {  
"type" : "long"  
},  
"sdoPoint" : {  
"properties" : {  
"x" : {  
"type" : "float"  
},  
"y" : {  
"type" : "float"  
}  
}  
},  
"sdoSrid" : {  
"type" : "long"  
}  
}  
}

You will want;

```auto
"sdoPoint" : "geo_point"

```

Then the `x` and `y` will become the lat and lon automatically.
