Geo Point indexing

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi @ll,

i tried to index data using the Java Api (XContentBuilder adding a GeoPoint
as a field), which is indexed as type String, the value looks like
[22.2,33.3]. Then i did some research and found the following page:
http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/geo-location-and-search/ with the comment
saying:

"Update: The automatic mapping of “geo enabled” properties has been
disabled since publishing this article. You have to provide the correct
mapping for geo properties. Please see the documentationhttp://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/geo-point-type.html
."

I'm now wondering if there is a way to enable the automatic mapping of "geo
enabled" properties (Configurable?)?
Why was is disabled? (in my case it would be very helpful, because i need
to index dynamically).

Anyways, the link to the documentation in the comment is not working for me.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Tho

Hi Tho,

unfortunately the automatic mapping of the geo_point has been disabled and
you have to define it on your own. Maybe I can ask about your usecase?

cheers,
Florian

Will dynamic templates work? Both in terms of Tho's scheme and in terms of
the geo point mapping limitations.

Hi,

my usecase is, that i want to index an EMF Model structure with 1 root
element dynamically without having the overhead of creating an index
mapping by myself. I have several fields, which contains an GeoPoint (which
i set as a GeoPoint into the XContentBuilder), and i want to provide geo
search with that dynamic mapping.

I don't understand why that feature already worked and why it was disabled,
i would love to use that feature. And i didn't found any parameter in the
configuration file to enable it, which would be very helpful.

Best regards,
Tho

Dynamic mapping worked! I just defined a string field and a field name, the
parameter i defined was indexed afterwards as type geo_point.
Thanks for the tip Ivan..

Cheers, Tho
