A demonstration of the Elasticsearch query that yields the error "Failed to find geo_shape field [location]]." This is a search of a collection of documents—each of which contain a pair of coordinates—against a pre-indexed collection of shapes. For simplicity's sake, I've included just one shape and just one document. This is with Elasticsearch …
