Briefly, this error occurs when the necessary settings for geo fields in Elasticsearch are not properly configured. Geo fields require certain parameters to be set, such as “type” and “coordinates”. If these are not set, Elasticsearch cannot process the geo fields correctly. To resolve this issue, ensure that all necessary parameters for your geo fields are correctly set in your mapping. This includes specifying the type as “geo_point” or “geo_shape” and providing the correct coordinates. Also, check your data input to ensure it matches the mapping configuration.
