Hey all, We are experimenting with the geo-search capabilities of ES, and it has been great when we are searching for something pinned to a single GeoPoint. When trying to index a document with an array of GeoPoint (ala GeoJson's MultiPoint - [http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#id5](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#id5)), ES is throwing exceptions. Is it possible to index a document against multiple GeoPoints? Regards, Rich -- “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” ~ Albert Einstein ---

Can you gist a curl recreation?

Shay, I took another look at it this morning and could not recreate. It must have been how the multiple points were being passed in. I'll take another stab at reproducing it tomorrow.
