Hi, Suppose i have a custom wrapper class which has many fields in it. Some of which are simple primitive fields like strings, integers while other are highly nested fields. Along with these fields say i have latitude and longitude fields which again can be in some nested location class. How can i make a mapping for these latitude and longitude fields while creating an index. Following the [elasticsearch mapping documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping.html), i was able to create mapping but then while inserting data through java spring api, **the error i got was that location fields should only contain latitude and longitude fields.** So, the question is how can i have a custom mapping for geo point for some custom location object. Looking forward to some feedback. Thanks P.S. I am trying to achieve this using java and spring. ---
