Greetings,

It appears that all stored geo\_point fields (when we're not leveraging \_source) actually return the [Lucene representation](http://xbib.org/elasticsearch/2.1.1/apidocs/org/apache/lucene/util/XGeoUtils.html#mortonUnhashLat-long-) of the lat/long. For those of us not leveraging the Elasticsearch/Lucene libs directly, is there some way to have Elasticsearch split the combined lat/long data back into individual lat/long components for easier consumption?

What was sent in:  
"location": {  
"lat": 37.65785,  
"lon": -122.42313  
}

What was returned:  
"location": [  
2564999456675991600  
]

Repro command to be ran in Sense:  
DELETE /geotemp

PUT /\_template/geotemp  
{  
"template": "geotemp\*",  
"mappings": {  
"geodatapoint": {  
"properties": {  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_point",  
"store": true  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

PUT /geotemp/geodatapoint/1  
{  
"location": {  
"lat": 37.65785,  
"lon": -122.42313  
}  
}

GET /geotemp/geodatapoint/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"fields": [  
"\*"  
]  
}
