Briefly, this error occurs when you’re trying to use the “orientation” parameter with a data type that doesn’t support it in Elasticsearch. The “orientation” parameter is typically used with geo_shape data type. If you’re using it with any other data type, you’ll encounter this error. To resolve this issue, ensure that you’re using the “orientation” parameter with the correct data type. If the data type is not geo_shape, remove the “orientation” parameter from your request. Alternatively, if you need to use the “orientation” parameter, change your data type to geo_shape.
This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” parameter orientation is not supported for type ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: .
Log Context
Log “parameter orientation 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 :
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) { throw new ElasticsearchParseException("parameter radius is not supported for type " + type); } }
