GeoPoint not added to mapping

class User(DocType):

    location = GeoPoint()
    session_id = Text()

    class Meta:
        index = 'searching_users'
        dynamic = MetaField('strict')`

I have this class definition, but when I create a user like

user = User()
user.session_id = sid
user.location = [lat, lon]
user.save()`

I am getting

{ "searching_users":{ "mappings":{ "doc":{ "properties":{ "location":{ "type":"long" }, "session_id":{ "type":"text", "fields":{ "keyword":{ "type":"keyword", "ignore_above":256 } } } } } } } }

Any thing to check for why this won’t create a type geo_point ?

@appli-intramuros unfortunately that is not an option, we would have to check before any write operation which would make it prohibitively expensive.

What i can recommend is to disable automatic index creation in elasticsearch by setting action.auto_create_index to false and then attempt to write to a non existent index will fail, thus preventing nasty surprises.

Hope this helps!

As browsing this issue, I saw a mistake according to the Elastic documentation in this block of code:

user = User()
user.session_id = sid
user.location = [lat, lon]
user.save()

The correct array setting according to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html for location is : user.location = [lon, lat]

–> Geo-point expressed as an array with the format: [ lon, lat]

My 2 cents
