"mappings": {
      "geo_test": {
        "_timestamp": {
          "enabled": true
        },
        "properties": {
          "first_name": {
            "type": "string",
            "analyzer": "standard"

            "type": "geo_point"
          }
        }
      }
    }

```

This is my mapping, and the following is the sample documents.

```

          "@version": "1",
          "@timestamp": "2016-02-29T09:30:26.368Z",

      {
