I tried upgrading my development system from 6.4 to 6.6.0. After this, point (in a document) in polygon (geo\_shape in the query) queries ("give me everyone located in this area") no longer work - no error or anything, just they produce no hits.

When I dumped and reloaded the data (so re-indexed), then it seems to be OK. But I would prefer not to have to take the live system down to re-index.

Though I see a note about geo\_shape in the 6.6 breaking changes, I don't see anything that I read as affecting this.

Specifically my query is scrolled, and the query is as below (for example). "address" is nested, and "address.location" is mapped as just {"type": "geo\_shape"} but it always contains just a single point.

```

This is a known issue in 6.6.0:

We hope to have it fixed in the next bug fix release.

OK, thanks. I hold off upgrading until it is fixed then. I've no urgent need to upgrade, just keeping up to date.
