To resolve this issue, ensure that your geo_point field only contains two dimensions. If you have additional data, consider storing it in separate fields. Also, check your data source to ensure it’s not providing more than two dimensions for your geo_point field.

}
return point.reset(coordinates.get(1); coordinates.get(0));
}
return point.reset(lat; lon);
