Good morning, I am trying to index JSON-LD information to visualize it later. When I edit the mapping I get an error. Before doing it I tested with JSON information and it has left me without problem to edit the location field of float to geo\_point and then display the points on the map. I attach the code that I am indexing along with the appropriate explanations.

"@id\_geo": "georec:andalucia/geometry",  
"@type\_geo": "sf:MultiPolygon"  
}  
}

this is the information I want to index and I want to modify the field business\_location (float --\> geo\_point)

Then I modify the mapping changing float to geo\_point.  
I get the mapping and receive the error:

GET prueba1/\_mapping

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ERROR\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "action\_request\_validation\_exception",  
"reason": "Validation Failed: 1: mapping type is missing;"  
}  
],  
"type": "action\_request\_validation\_exception",  
"reason": "Validation Failed: 1: mapping type is missing;"  
},  
"status": 400  
}

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ERROR \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Only I want to replace business\_location from float to geo\_point to visualize with a point in the map. I don´t know really if I´m doing correctly when editing the mapping.

thanks in advance for your time and help!

Sergio
