QueryParsingException failed to find geo_point field - elasticsearch

Question

I am getting QueryParsingException[[listings] failed to find geo_point field [location.coords]]; }] and can't quite figure out why.
My Query
esClient.search({
index: 'listings',
body: {
query: {
filtered: {
query: {
match_all: {}
},
filter: {
geo_distance: {
distance: '10km',
'location.coords': {
lat: parseFloat(query.point.lat),
lon: parseFloat(query.point.lon)
}
}
}
}
}
}
}, function(err, response) {
if(err) return console.log(err);
console.log(response);
});
My mapping (as you can see -yes, I did use geo_point type)
body: {
properties: {
location: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
country: {
type: 'integer'
},
address: {
type: 'string'
},
suburb: {
type: 'string'
},
coords: {
type: 'geo_point',
precision: '3m'
}
}
}
}
}
EDIT:
After looking up http://localhost:9200/listings/_mapping/my-mapping, I noticed the coords field have the lat, lon set to double - could this have something to do with it.

Answer 1

Ok so it turns out this was happening because of how I was defining the geo_point's precision (needs to be wrapped in fielddata property), oddly the JS api i'm using didn't throw any kind of error that I recall:
Correct:
coords: {
type: 'geo_point',
fielddata: {
format: 'compressed',
precision: '3m'
}
}
Incorrect:
coords: {
type: 'geo_point',
precision: '3m'
}
}
And voila...
