Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch encounters an issue while trying to parse a geopoint. This could be due to incorrect formatting or invalid data. To resolve this, ensure that the geopoint data is in the correct format, either as a string (“lat,lon”), an array ([lon,lat]), or an object ({lat: lat, lon: lon}).
