My first object looks like :
```auto
public class ElasticObject {
private String id;
private String num;
private String streetName;
private String postCode;
private String city;
private GeoHash position;
public ElasticObject(String id, String num, String streetName, String postCode, String city, double lat, double lon) {
this.id = id;
this.num = num;
this.streetName = streetName;
this.postCode = postCode;
this.city = city;
this.position = GeoHash.withBitPrecision(lat, lon, 10);
}
```
The bulk request looks like :
```auto
BulkRequest.Builder br = new BulkRequest.Builder();
for (ElasticObject esObject : data) {
br.operations(op -> op
.index(idx -> idx.index("bano").id(esObject.getId()).document(esObject)));
}
BulkResponse result = client.bulk(br.build());
```

Could you try with a similar data structure I shared?
I don't think it's possible to have other inner fields than `lat` and `lon` in the JSON sent to Elasticsearch.

I succedded in what I wanted to do by using an ingest pipeline.
At first, I created it from a CSV import in Kibana.
And then, I saw how to recreate it programatically with the Java API client.
```auto
ConvertProcessor latProcessor =
new ConvertProcessor.Builder().field("lat").type(ConvertType.Double).build();
ConvertProcessor lonProcessor =
new ConvertProcessor.Builder().field("lon").type(ConvertType.Double).build();
SetProcessor positionProcessor = new SetProcessor.Builder().field("location").copyFrom("{{lat}},{{lon}}").build();
List processors = List.of(new Processor.Builder().convert(cpProcessor).build(),
new Processor.Builder().convert(latProcessor).build(),
new Processor.Builder().convert(lonProcessor).build(),
new Processor.Builder().set(positionProcessor).build());
PutPipelineRequest pipelineRequest =
new PutPipelineRequest.Builder().id("myPipeline").processors(processors).build();
ElasticsearchIngestClient ingestClient = new ElasticsearchIngestClient(transport);
PutPipelineResponse pipelineResponse = ingestClient.putPipeline(pipelineRequest);
BulkRequest.Builder br = new BulkRequest.Builder();
br.pipeline("myPipeline");
```

Why are you doing that server side (in Elasticsearch) and not Client side (in your application)?

I didn't find out how to do it on the client side.

Just change the ElasticObject. And use a data structure as I shared in my previous answer. Look at the GeoPoint class.

When I do as you did, the data is created but as double and distinct values :
In the mapping of the index, the location looks like (the index does not exist before I run the code, that's why I performed operations on the server side, to tell him how to create the index)
```auto
"location": {
"properties": {
"lat": {
"type": "float"
},
"lon": {
"type": "float"
}
}
},
```
And after creating the data view, if I try to use it in a map, I have a message saying
`Data view does not contain any geospatial fields`

It's because you need to create the mapping before indexing any data.

Now that works.
Thanks !
