Geo-spatial fields

Dynamic mapping does not support geo-spatial fields, and require a manual/static mapping configuration.

Here's a document with a Point field:

{
  _id: 1,
  city: "Charlottesville",
  location: {
    type: "Point",
    coordinates: [-78.47668,38.02931]
  }
}

To map that GeoJSON location field to a geo type in Atlas Search:

{
  "mappings": {
    "dynamic": true,
    "fields": {
      "location": {
        "type": "geo"
      }
    }
  }
}

geo-spatial search operators

• geoWithin
  • geoWithin playground
• geoShape
• near

near operator

Operates on numbers and dates, but trickier than equals, in, and range

• near operator
• Playground TODO: number near
• Playground TODO: date near
