Hi,
I have one index say "all\_geo\_docs" which contains all documents and all have a geo\_shape field with type geo\_shape and geo\_point field with type geo\_point.
Now I have one field named 'org\_type' in all docs with value 'type\_poly' or 'type\_point'. If a value is 'type\_poly' that means that doc is Polygon or else if the value is 'type\_point' that means that doc is Point.
Now from the same index, I want to get all documents(with type geo\_point) for which point of the doc is within 2-3 polygons(which exist in the same index with type geo\_shape). I have name and id of that 2-3 polygons. How can I write geo\_query for the same?
In short, I want to get all geo\_point documents for which point lies within specific 2-3 polygons?
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to understand the question and I am not sure what you mean with `2-3 polygons`. Could you elaborate a bit more what do you mean?
It is always a good practice to provide an example (mappings, data and queries) that shows the expected behaviour.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
So I have only one index with 2 fields with type geo\_point and geo\_shape. To be clear, geo\_shapes are the polygon geo-json of the boundary on google map for region. So let's say I have 10 geo\_shapes. So what I want in the result is find all geo\_points which fall within 2-3 of the geo\_shapes.
Solution or say patch I used for the same: I was trying to use the geo\_shape query with geo\_point data type so this is not possible as geo\_share query won't work with geo\_point. So what I did is I have indexed geo\_point as a geo\_shape type and it's working as expected.
It's working perfectly and I don't know if it's a proper way or patch only.
Thanks,
Mayur

You are right, you cannot use geo\_shape query with a geo point field. You have to use GeoPolygon query but cannot be mixed up with geo\_shape fields.
I think it is a proper solution in this case.
