Hi there. I have a collection of geo\_shapes pulled from a shape file that I have indexed into ES. I also have a large index of documents with geo\_points. I'm trying to run a query that returns all the documents that have a point within a geo\_shape, but keep getting zero results returned. What am I doing wrong or not understanding?
Here is the mapping for my geo\_shapes:
{
"locations":{
"properties": {
"type": "geo\_shape",
"tree":"quadtree"
}
}
}
and this is the mapping for the documents with geo\_points:
{
"docs":{
"location":{
"properties":{
"coordinates":{
"type":"geo\_point",
"geohash":true
}
}
}
}
}
the query I'm trying to run is:
{"query":
"geo\_shape": {
"geometry": {
"indexed\_shape": {
"id": "shape\_id",
"type": "locations",
"index": "index\_name",
"path": "geometry"
}
}
}
I'm pretty sure the mappings are correct, because I can do a query of a specific lat/long and successfully get back the geo\_shape it is in. I can also do a bounding box search of the documents with geo\_points and successfully get back a list of documents that match.
