hi all, what would be the smartes approach to calculate the distance traveled for a (filtered) series of coordinates? i´m wondering what tools could help out there... somewhat like the sum aggregation of a geopoint field respecting the result order? i hope somebody can help me out. or is it better to iteratively increase a trip distance field with scan&scroll? thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
