If input data has lat/lon columns, is it possible to populate geo\_shape value using lat/long columns with ingest pipeline? Imagine original index has only lat/lon column mappings and data is populated. Now using reindex we can always create another index using this old index. But I want to add geo\_shape data this time in the new index, using reindex option. Is there an example for doing this? Thank you. ---
