Briefly, this error occurs when you’re trying to use the “geometries” parameter on a field type that doesn’t support it in Elasticsearch. This is common with non-geospatial field types. To resolve this issue, ensure that the field you’re applying the “geometries” parameter to is of a geospatial type, such as “geo_shape” or “geo_point”. If it’s not, you may need to reindex your data with the correct field type or create a new field of the correct type for your geospatial data.

Log Context
Log “parameter geometries is not supported for type” class name is GeoJson.java. We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
/** * Checks that all passed parameters except type are null; generates corresponding error messages if they are not */ private static void verifyNulls(String type; Listgeometries; Boolean orientation; DistanceUnit.Distance radius) { if (geometries != null) { throw new ElasticsearchParseException("parameter geometries is not supported for type " + type); } if (orientation != null) { throw new ElasticsearchParseException("parameter orientation is not supported for type " + type); } if (radius != null) {
