Geo_shape mapping for xyz format to xy format

[cpavan811 (Pavan Kumar)]

We have field in one of our index with GeoJSON supported format of coordinates [ x, y , z] in number format. however when tried to created mapping with geo_shape format with flag "ignore_z_value" to true it still fails to index documents.

Tried other scripting and ingest pipeline methods, but nothing worked out.

I have source document
'''''''''

{
"_index": "test_index",
"_type": "_doc",
"_id": "5f8c01c03f9466001172495b",
"_version": 6964426729028846000,
"_score": 0,
"fields": {
"geometry.type.keyword": [
"Polygon"
],
"type": [
"Feature"
],
"geometry.coordinates": [
-122.475716,
37.80737,
0,
-122.47572,
37.80602,
0,
-122.47402,
37.80601,
0,
-122.474014,
37.80736,
0
],
}
}

Goal is to get a document like this

'''''''''''

{
"_index": "test_index",
"_type": "_doc",
"_id": "5f8c01c03f9466001172495b",
"_version": 6964426729028846000,
"_score": 0,
"fields": {
"geometry.type.keyword": [
"Polygon"
],
"type": [
"Feature"
],
"geometry.coordinates": [
[
120.65400,
24.19446
],
[
-122.47572,
37.80602,
],
[
-122.47402,
37.80601,
],
[
-122.474014,
37.80736,
],
}
}

''''''''''''''''''

Appreciate any help to fix this

we applied a mapping of

PUT semantics.geofeatures
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"geometry.coordinates": {
"type": "geo_shape"
}
}
}
}

In logs we found below issue

ERROR 2021/05/20 19:25:50 Bulk response item: {"_index":"semantics.geofeatures","_type":"_doc","_id":"5bd1ab9782104e001f0e089f","status":400,"error":{"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"failed to parse field [geometry.coordinates] of type [geo_shape]","caused_by":{"reason":"shape must be an object consisting of type and coordinates","type":"parse_exception"}}}

Hi @cpavan811 Welcome to the commuinty.

First please format your code going forward using the </> button on the editor, it makes it very difficult to understand any many will just skip un-formatted posts.

You probably should take a closer look at the geo_shape docs here

You have a number of issues including

• The Document Structure is not correct
• The Geometry Format is not correct
• Your Polygon Does Not Close, which is required
• The z value will be ignored by default

Here is a working example, hope it helps.

DELETE my-geo-index-test
PUT my-geo-index-test
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "geometry": {
        "type": "geo_shape"
      }
    }
  }
}

POST my-geo-index-test/_doc
{
  "type": [
    "Feature"
  ],
  "geometry": {
    "type": "polygon",
    "coordinates": [
      [
        [
          -122.475716,
          37.80737,
          0
        ],
        [
          -122.47572,
          37.80602,
          0
        ],
        [
          -122.47402,
          37.80601,
          0
        ],
        [

          37.80737,
          0
        ]
      ]

I put this on the map...

I can see your polygons are not self-closing, as per GeoJSON polygon spec first and last coordinates pairs need to be identical.
