Briefly, this error occurs when the format of the coordinates provided in a geo-point field is incorrect. Elasticsearch expects coordinates to be specified as an array or a string, not as objects. To resolve this issue, you can either provide the coordinates as a string in the format “lat,lon” or as an array in the format [lon,lat]. Ensure that the longitude comes first in the array format. Also, check your mapping to ensure the field is correctly set as a geo-point type.
This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” coordinates cannot be specified as objects ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: .
