Is there a difference between indexing envelopes or polygons

Hello,

I'm new to ES. Please forgive me if I'm asking something stupid.

Is there a fundamental difference between indexing an envelope or indexing
a polygon ?

For example if I define the area as a envelope

{
"frame":{
"type":"envelope",
"coordinates": [[3,4],[1,2]]
}
}

or as a polygon

{
"frame":{
"type":"polygon",
"coordinates": [[[3,4],[3,2],[1,2],[1,4],[3,4]]]
}
}

As in my comprehension they both define the same area, should I be able to
perform the same queries whatever the way I defined the area ? (Currently I
have a search query that returns wrong results on the envelope and seems to
perform well on the polygon.)

Thanks for your help,

Nicolas

Hey,

if there is an error, can you please open a github issue? However the
envelope shape expects you to set an upper left and lower right boundary.
Your coordinates more look like lower left and upper right (meaning you
might create quite a huge envelope acutally) - which obviously does not
matter for a polygon

Hey thanks a lot !

Now it works just fine. I didn't see that coming, I thought ES was
complaining if envelope's coordinates was reverted. My bad...

Hey,

the problem here is that elasticsearch cant tell by itself if the envelope
borders need to be reverted or not... maybe you want/need such an envelope
in your calculations. Hard to tell from a machine perspective :slight_smile:
