Is it possible to cast script_field type to geopoint?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

In a file script, I have this:

def locationGeoData = [:]
locationGeoData['port'] = [4.815554, 7.0498442]
locationGeoData['harcourt'] = [4.815554, 7.0498442]
locationGeoData[doc['region'].value]

Is it possible to convert the return type to geopoint so I can use it in plotting maps in Kibana

Hi,

can't you just create a GeoPoint instance? For example:

locationGeoData['port'] = new org.elasticsearch.common.geo.Geopoint(4.815554, 7.0498442)

Hi,

you should customize the classloader whitelist to include org.elasticsearch.common.geo.GeoDistance.
