I need some help -

i'm trying to configure dynamic templates to pick up GeoJSON format in  
order to use the better map in Kibana 3.x

BUT the parser throws exceptions:

java.lang.RuntimeException: indexing error MapperParsingException[failed to  
parse]; nested: ElasticsearchParseException[geo\_point expected];

my document looks like this :

{  
"inner":{  
"field1":"somevalue",  
"field2":"somevalue",  
"geo\_location": [0, 0]  
}  
}

and the mapping template looks like this

{  
"mappings": {  
"_default_": {  
"\_source": {  
"includes": [  
"\*"  
]  
},  
"dynamic\_templates": [  
{  
"geo\_data": {  
"path\_match": "inner.geo\_location",  
"mapping": {  
"type": "geo\_point"  
}  
}  
}  
],  
"properties": {  
"inner": {  
"type": "object",  
"properties": {  
"meta": {  
"include\_in\_all": true,  
"type": "object"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

am i doing something wrong? am i missing something?
