Failed to find geo_point field location Springframework Data Elasticsearch - elasticsearch

Question

Failed to find geo_point field location. The location field should have geo_point in mapping but getting lat, lon.
Model Class:
import org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.annotations.GeoPointField;
import org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.geo.GeoPoint;
class EsMapping extends TestIndex{
#GeoPointField
private GeoPoint location;
#Field(type = FieldType.Double)
private double latitude;
#Field(type = FieldType.Double)
private double longitude;
.
.
}
TestIndex.java
class TestIndex{
#Field(type = FieldType.Text)
private String name;
.
.
}
Test Controller
#Autowired
private ElasticsearchOperations elasticsearchOperations;
IndexOperations esMappingIndex =
elasticsearchOperations.indexOps(EsMapping.class);
esMappingIndex.delete();
esMappingIndex.create();
esMappingIndex.putMapping(esMappingIndex.createMapping());
esMappingIndex.refresh();
Mapping: (not expected)

"location": {
"properties": {
"lat": {
"type": "float"

"lon": {

"longitude": {

Error:
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"query_shard_exception","reason":"failed to find geo_point field [location] ","index_uuid":"QLCjshecRNqDMXtkrtbF9g","index":"testindex"}],"type":"search_phase_execution_exception","reason":"all shards failed","phase":"query","grouped":true,"failed_shards":[{"shard":0,"index":"testindex","node":"jCKzz88BQXeL3wzyX6c8lQ","reason":{"type":"query_shard_exception","reason":"failed to find geo_point field [location]","index_uuid":"QLCjshecRNqDMXtkrtbF9g","index":"testindex"}}]},"status":400}
Expected Mapping
"location": {
"type": "geo_point"
},
"latitude": {
"type": "double"
},
"longitude": {
"type": "double"
},

Answer 1

When I define entity properties like above - with an index name geopoint-test - and do execute the mapping creating code (which is executed as well on application startup), I get the following mapping:
{
"geopoint-test": {
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "geo_point"
}
}
}
}
}
There are two differences to the mapping you show:
the location propert is mapped correctly
the latitude and longitude properties are not written to the mapping, as they are not annotated with #Field and so are left for automatic mapping.
The mapping you show is the one that will be automatically created.
Which version of Spring Data Elasticsearch are you using?
Edit 12.12.2020:
Using Spring Data Elasticsearch 4.0.2 and adding the two #Field annotations to the latitudeand longitude properties, both the initial setup of an index and the code to explicitly write the mapping produce this mapping:
{
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "geo_point"
},
"latitude": {
"type": "double"
},
"longitude": {
"type": "double"
}
}
}
