Geo_point mapping from Couchbase to Elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have geo location stored in Cochbase with below format,

"location": {
"lat": 40.722,
"lon": -73.989
}

Now, How can i mapped this value to Elasticsearch?. I want to perform geo_distance sorting on that.Thank you.

You need to define a mapping for this location field.
And set it as geo_point

Can i define dynamically.Like below.

"couchbaseDocument": {
"dynamic_templates": [
{
"documents_to_es": {
"mapping": {
"type": "geo_point",
"lat_lon"="true"
},
"match_mapping_type": "double",
"match": "*"
}
}
]
},

Because when i am not applying mapping, Elasticsearch map it as a "double".

Please format your code when posting.

I remember that couchbase defines a template. You need to change it and defines location as a geo_point.

Look at:

Note that in your case, you know for sure that location is a geo point so you don't need to apply a dynamic template but just define the right mapping for the field for your type.

basically, changes this: https://github.com/couchbaselabs/elasticsearch-transport-couchbase/blob/master/src/main/resources/couchbase_template.json
