I database to store the geographical position is a "lon, lat", such as: 108.714931, 34.3380499, but I see the document, is to Geo - point expressed as a string with the format: "lat, lon," only Geo - point array form is expressed as an array with the format: [lon, lat], excuse me what method to solve now ---

You need to transform the values. Easier to do that in your application which reads the database and insert into elasticsearch. Otherwise in logstash or with a node ingest pipeline may be. ---
