A GeoJSON file can contain several points in the _features_ array (see the short example below). When loading the GeoJSON file into elasticsearch, how to index each point a different id?

The ways I can think about, for example, convert it to Json file and use \_bulk api, then is there any convertor avaliable?  
Or, write a configure file and load it through Logstash, then is there any configure file sample avaliable?

Additional: Is the GeoJSON format a good choice if I want to map points with values on Kibana?

```
{
   "type": "FeatureCollection",
   "features": [
  {
    "type": "Feature",
    "geometry": {
       "type": "Point",
       "coordinates": [4.427266,51.776804]
    },
    "properties": {
    "Date":"26.06.2017",
    "Time":"9:25:24"
    }
  },
  {
    "type": "Feature",
    "geometry": {
       "type": "Point",
       "coordinates": [4.427294,51.776806]
    },
    "properties": {
    "Date":"26.06.2017",
    "Time":"9:25:28"
    }
  }
 ]
}
```
