This is more of a how-to question. I've created this mapping for  
"places/shops":

- places:  
{
  - mappings:  
{
    - shops:  
{
      - dynamic: "true",
      - numeric\_detection: true,
      - properties:  
{
        - available:  
{
          - type: "boolean"  
},

        - location:  
{
          - type: "geo\_point",
          - lat\_lon: true,
          - geohash: true  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Where I'm using location as the point I'd like to use for GeoDistance  
queries.

I'm then indexing a document that looks like;

{"available": true, location: [50, 50]}

I see that the document is indexed when doing a GET for places/shops/1 (I'm  
indexing the document at id = 1)

I'm then executing a query using elastic4s in scala which is again quite  
simple;  
val nearbyFuture:Future[SearchResponse] =  
client execute {  
search in "places" -\> "shops" filter {  
geoDistance("location") point(lat, lon) distance(kms)  
}  
}

In this case lat & lon are both 50.0, and kms = 50 as well. This is a  
really simple query and yet I end up with 0 hits.

Whats's going wrong here?
