Parameter geometries is not supported for type – How to solve this Elasticsearch exception

Opster Team

August-23, Version: 7.2-8.9

Briefly, this error occurs when you’re trying to use the “geometries” parameter on a field type that doesn’t support it in Elasticsearch. This is common with non-geospatial field types. To resolve this issue, ensure that the field you’re applying the “geometries” parameter to is of a geospatial type, such as “geo_shape” or “geo_point”. If it’s not, you may need to reindex your data with the correct field type or create a new field of the correct type for your geospatial data.

This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” parameter geometries is not supported for type ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: .
