Whats wrong with this geo_shape elasticsearch query? -

i trying geo_shape query document location (see example document below) , getting nullpointerexception when trying execute elasticsearch via chrome addon "sense". exact results @ bottom of question...

any on getting right geo_shape query work appreciated.

query throwing exception

{    "query": {               "geo_shape": {         "location": {            "shape": {               "type": "polygon",                "coordinates": [[-87.6363976, 41.8772528], [-87.6363976, 41.8902152],[-87.62131840000001, 41.8902152], [-87.62131840000001, 41.8772528], [-87.6363976, 41.8772528]]            }         }        }      }  } 

example document

{     "id": 1483,     "name": "independance day movie day",     "location": [               41.9527,               -87.725            ] } 

exact results sense

there's 2 things wrong here. first, location field should object has type , coordinates field, expect should be:

"location": {   "type" : "point",   "coordinates" : [ 41.9527, -87.725 ] } 

note using array format, specifying them (x, y) or (longitude, latitude).

secondly, query close being correct, requires level of array polygon:

{   "query": {              "geo_shape": {       "location": {         "shape": {           "type": "polygon",            "coordinates": [               [[-87.6363976, 41.8772528], [-87.6363976, 41.8902152],                [-87.62131840000001, 41.8902152], [-87.62131840000001, 41.8772528],                [-87.6363976, 41.8772528]]           ]         }       }     }   } } 

the purpose of layer of nesting allows inner polygons specified things holes. also, values in polygon not contain point searching for, , (x, y) values reversed 1 of them regardless.

just in case have not done so, required set geoshape mapping in order work (where type_name specific index's type, such curl -xget localhost:9200/index/type):

{   "mappings" : {     "type_name" : {       "properties" : {         "id" : { "type" : "long" },         "name" : { "type" : "string" },         "location" : { "type" : "geo_shape" }       }     }   } }
