```
{
  "script_fields": {
    "distance": {
      "script": {
        "inline": "doc['location'].distanceInKm(12.898365,77.594359)"
      }
    }
  }
}

```

mappings  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_point"  
}  
got the following error as unable to find dynamic method distanceInKm

```
"reason": {
	"type": "script_exception",
	"reason": "runtime error",
	"caused_by": {
		"type": "illegal_argument_exception",
		"reason": "Unable to find dynamic method [distanceInKm] with [2] arguments for class [org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.ScriptDocValues.GeoPoints]."
	},
	"script_stack": ["doc['location'].distanceInKm(12.898365,77.594359)", " ^---- HERE"],
	"script": "doc['location'].distanceInKm(12.898365,77.594359)",
	"lang": "painless"
}

```

tried reading all the docs unable to resolve this. hope the folks here will help me solve this.  
I was abe to find distance using sort functionality but distanceInKM is not working!  
is it a bug or my query is wrong ?

distanceInKm is deprecated in V5.0 version using [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/breaking\_50\_scripting.html#\_geopoint\_scripts](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/breaking_50_scripting.html#_geopoint_scripts)
