Hi all,  
my goal is to create a table and then load it by logstash, the geopoint field is the only one that doesn't want to be created correctly, do you have any idea?

The error says that there is an unexpected double quote somewhere in hour mapping.

Please share the entire mapping that you are trying to apply.

You can try this if you don't care about mailformed data.

```auto
PUT index_name
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "location": {
        "type": "geo_point",
        "ignore_malformed": true,
        "null_value": null
      }
    }
  }
}

```

I don't think this is related to the issue, the issue happens while applying the mapping, not while indexing any data.

This is another issue, you should open another question and share the entire log, not just part of it.
