Hello All, I've been facing problem with geo\_distance facet since few hours. Error is: ElasticsearchParseException[field must be either 'lat', 'lon' or 'geohash'] I am not sure, if this is bug or I am making a silly mistake here. Please guide in right direction.

Hey, your ranges specification is broken, you need to use an array of objects. Also, please try to use aggregations if possible, as they are the successor of facets. --Alex On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 10:37 AM, Munjal Dhamecha [mastermunj@gmail.com](mailto:mastermunj@gmail.com) wrote: > Hello All, > > I've been facing problem with geo\_distance facet since few hours. > > Error is: ElasticsearchParseException[field must be either 'lat', 'lon' or > 'geohash'] > > I am not sure, if this is bug or I am making a silly mistake here.

Oops! That one was very silly overlook mistake. Thank you for pointing it out. Yes, I moved to aggregations with few failed tries on facets.
