I am inserting data from mysql to Elasticsearch using Logstash. Onw of the fields I am inserting is "geoCoordinates". This field is stored in Mysql in the format "lon;lat" I want to insert this field in my elasticsearch as `geo_point` field so I have the following filter:

> ```
> filter {
> mutate {
> split => ["geoCoordinates", ";"]
> add_field => {
> "[geoCoordinates][lon]" => "%{geoCoordinates[0]}"
> "[geoCoordinates][lat]" => "%{geoCoordinates[1]}"
> }
> convert => {
> "[geoCoordinates][lon]" => "float"
> "[geoCoordinates][lat]" => "float"
> }
> }
> }
> 
> ```

however Elasticsearch shows the values like this

> ```
> "geoCoordinates": {
> "lon": "%{geoCoordinates[0]}",
> "lat": "%{geoCoordinates[1]}"
> },
> 
> ```

and another field has the acutal values as string  
`"geoCoordinates": "35.5277933233856;-121.04542218833"`

Any help?
