Hi, I was going to open a bug issue but I thought I'd double check here first. I've had some trouble importing to geo\_shapes in 1.4+ I get the exception: > ElasticsearchParseException: Invaild shape: Hole is not within polygon Now, I'm not an expert in GIS, but: - The area looks like this: [http://i.imgur.com/oDzSeDQ.png](http://i.imgur.com/oDzSeDQ.png) with one point of the hole touching one vertex of the polygon - The data is from postgis' _ST\_AsGeoJSON_ and according to _ST\_isValid_ it's a valid area - Every version of ES from 0.90 to 1.3 take the area just fine.
