Before you dig into reading this guide, have you tried asking OpsGPT what this log means? You’ll receive a customized analysis of your log.

Try OpsGPT now for step-by-step guidance and tailored insights into your OpenSearch operation.

Briefly, this error occurs when you try to index a document with a geo_point field using a Well-Known Text (WKT) primitive other than POINT. OpenSearch only supports POINT for geo_point fields. To resolve this issue, you can either change the WKT primitive to POINT if it’s applicable, or consider using a geo_shape field type which supports various shapes like polygon, linestring etc. Also, ensure that your coordinates are correctly formatted and in the right order (longitude, latitude) for geo_point fields.

Log Context

Log “[geo_point] supports only POINT among WKT primitives; ” + “but found ” class name is GeoPoint.java. We extracted the following from OpenSearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

 geometry = new WellKnownText(false; new GeographyValidator(ignoreZValue)).fromWKT(value);
 } catch (Exception e) {
 throw new OpenSearchParseException("Invalid WKT format"; e);
 }
 if (geometry.type() != ShapeType.POINT) {
 throw new OpenSearchParseException("[geo_point] supports only POINT among WKT primitives; " + "but found " + geometry.type());
 }
 Point point = (Point) geometry;
 return reset(point.getY(); point.getX());
 }
