Hi, Geo tagging feature is not working for me. Can someone please guide me. Query: curl -XGET localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/\_search -d "{"query": {"filtered":{"query" : {"match\_all":{}},"filter" : {"geo\_distance":{ "distance": "200km", "location": [ 12.970000000000001,77. 590000000000003] }}}}}" Result: {"\_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total": 0,"max\_score":n ull,"hits":[]}} Mapping File: ....,"location":"geohash\_precision": 12,"lat\_lon":true,"path":"full","resolution":"64","type":"geo\_point","geohash":false},... Stored Index: "location": [12.970000000000001, 77.590000000000003]}}]}} As the mapping file seems correct and the query also returns proper result with out geo filter. I am not sure what is happening wrong here. Thanks Smruti ---

Hi, The geo\_point type does not support passing the lat / lon as an array. I will update the docs to reflect that. The problem is that I can't tell (at the parsing / mapping abstraction type) if its a single point array of lat/lon, or array of points. -shay.banon On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 8:31 PM, Smruti [smruti.parida@gmail.com](mailto:smruti.parida@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > Geo tagging feature is not working for me.

Well, if the first value of the array is a scalar, then it is [lat,long], otherwise it is an array of points, no? clint ---

Yes, but its problematic in how the current implementation is built, which basically derived from the fact that I pull parse the json (never create a full in memory representation of it, ala map of maps).

Thanks a lot Shay. I could solve the issue with the suggestion you provided. 🙂 On Sep 7, 1:39 pm, Shay Banon [shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com) wrote: > Hi, > > The geo\_point type does not support passing the lat / lon as an array.

ok, managed to enhance the generic pull parsing type system to support that. Here is the issue: [Mapper: `geo_point` to support passing array of [lat, lon] · Issue #361 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/361). Will push it later today. On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 4:55 PM, Smruti [smruti.parida@gmail.com](mailto:smruti.parida@gmail.com) wrote: > Thanks a lot Shay.
