Hi!

We have a geo shape field which we store multi polygons and we want to filter it with a coordinate.  
Desired search request is:

```auto
"geo_shape": {
  "area": {
    "shape": {
      "type": "point",
      "coordinates": [
        29.0,
        40.0
      ]
    },
    "relation": "intersects"
  }
}

```

But with elastic java client v8.6.0 I couldn't find a way to build this query. What I've done so far is:

```auto
new GeoShapeQuery.Builder()
            .shape(new GeoShapeFieldQuery.Builder()
                .shape(JsonData.of(new GeoLocation.Builder()
                    .coords(List.of(
                        request.getLatitude(),
                        request.getLongitude())).build()))
                .build())
            .field(AREA).build()._toQuery()

```

And with this I got the following:

```auto
"geo_shape": {
    "area": {
      "shape": [
        29.147841,
        40.91953 
      ]
    }
  }

```

It doesn't work because Elasticsearch expects `type` and `coordinates` fields.  
What is the correct way to achieve this?

Thanks!

I ended up with a custom shape class that implements `JsonpSerializable` interface.  
For those who are looking for the same thing here is the [GeoPoint](https://gist.github.com/ykozcan/fda2818f1ac88fbf0b26afaced1a8b21) class.

We can use it with GeoShapeQuery like

```auto
new GeoShapeQuery.Builder()
            .shape(new GeoShapeFieldQuery.Builder()
                .relation(GeoShapeRelation.Intersects)
                .shape(JsonData.of(new GeoPoint(longitude, latitude)))
                .build())
            .field(AREA).build()._toQuery()

```

And the actual query is generated as follows

```auto
"geo_shape": {
        "area": {
            "shape": {
                "type": "point",
                "coordinates": [
                    29.0,
                    40.0
                ]
            },
            "relation": "intersects"
        }
    }

```
