Hi all, I am trying to use a mapping with a "geo\_shape" type as documented in [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/geo-shape-type.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/geo-shape-type.html) using this type in a mapping leads to: MapperParsingException[No handler for type [geo\_shape] declared on field [geometry]] so this type is not handled by my current elasticsearch installation. as the docs state, i need to have jts and spatial4j in my classpath. What i did was downloading the two jars and put them in the "lib" folder of elasticsearch, with no success Any hint on how to use this type? Thanks a lot best regards Mauro -- ---

Hi everyone. I have got exactly the same error org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: No handler for type [geo\_shape] declared on field [full\_geometry] This is a part of mapping "center\_point": { "type": "geo\_point", "index": "not\_analyzed" }, "full\_geometry": { "type": "geo\_shape" } center points works, but full\_geometry failed. ES version 1.1.1 I use ES via maven dependency org.elasticsearch elasticsearch 1.1.1 Maybe I should add some additional dependencies or anything else. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
