Hi, We have some coordinates data in this format [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance\_Survey\_National\_Grid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_National_Grid) as they say ( Eastings and Northings Format ) and we use SpatialRecursivePrefixTreeFieldType ( [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Spatial+Search](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Spatial+Search) ) datatype in solr. Do you have any equivalent datatype to support this.

I have tried below settings and it throws error:  
{  
"mappings" : {  
"address" : {  
"properties" : {  
....  
"streetname" : {"type": "string"},  
"postcode" : {"type": "string"},  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_shape",  
"tree": "quadtree",  
"precision": "1m"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

And if i try to insert record it throws below error - Do you only support lat & long ?  
{  
"took" : 0,  
"errors" : true,  
"items" : [  
{  
"index" : {  
"\_index" : "xxxxaddress",  
"\_type" : "address",  
"\_id" : "1",  
"status" : 400,  
"error" : {  
"type" : "mapper\_parsing\_exception",  
"reason" : "failed to parse [location]",  
"caused\_by" : {  
"type" : "invalid\_shape\_exception",  
"reason" : "Bad X value 437489.01 is not in boundary Rect(minX=-180.0,maxX=180.0,minY=-90.0,maxY=90.0)"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}

And the data i am trying to add through bulk insert is below

{ "index": {"\_index": "xxaddress", "\_type": "address", "\_id": 1} }  
{ /\* some data \*/ ,"streetname": "XYZ ROAD", "location": { "type": "point", "coordinates": [437489.01, 554815.00] },"postcode": "S12 1QF" }
