GeoDistance query doesn't work with distance unit equal to miles

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello Everyone,

I am using GeoDistance Query inside post_filter which works well with distance_unit = km.
But when I change it to miles it gives me an exception:

Sample Query:

   {
    "aggregations": {
    "nested_geopoint": {
      "aggregations": {
        "zoomedInView": {
          "filter": {
            "geo_bounding_box": {
              "addresses.location": {
                  "top_left": {
                              "lat": 42.3577323732945,
                              "lon": -71.0593786189176
                           },
                           "bottom_right": {
                              "lat": 42.3523895073352,
                              "lon": -71.0499948394231
                           }
              }
            }
          },
          "aggs" : {
              "zoom1": {
          "geohash_grid": {
            "field": "addresses.location",
            "precision": 8
          },
          "aggs" : {
              "cell" : {
                  "geo_bounds" : {
                      "field" : "addresses.location"
                  }
              }
          }
        }
          }
        }
      },
      "nested": {
        "path": "addresses"
      }
    }
  },
   "post_filter": {
   "nested": {
     "path": "addresses",
     "query": {
       "filtered": {
         "filter": {
           "geo_distance": {
             "distance": 1,
             "distance_unit": "miles",
             "addresses.location": {
               "lat":-71.004999999999995,
               "lon": 42.341760000000001
             }
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }
 }
}

In above query location is a nested field. post-filter is used after aggregations. After executing this query it throws below exception:

  nested: ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[the character 'i' is not a valid geohash character]; }]",
       "status": 400

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or any other clarification is required.

Thanks

Very odd, that looks valid according to the docs.

What version are you on?

Thanks for the reply @warkolm.
I'm using ES 1.4.4.
Apparently post_filter also doesn't have any effect on the results, anyways that's a separate issue to discuss.
