Does Elasticsearch support altitude in geospatial data type/query? I am only able to find documentation referencing lat & long (2D, not 3D). If altitude is not supported now, any idea if it's in the development pipeline and how soon it will be available? Any known workaround?

Hey, there is no support in geo\_point or geo\_shape for altitude. But what prevents you from simply adding another field to your document and using this in your queries? --Alex On Tue, Jul 1, 2014 at 8:46 PM, akee gogogo [akeegogogo@gmail.com](mailto:akeegogogo@gmail.com) wrote: > Does Elasticsearch support altitude in geospatial data type/query?
