Briefly, this error occurs when you try to index a geo-point field in Elasticsearch with more than 3 dimensions (latitude, longitude, and altitude). Elasticsearch only supports up to 3 dimensions for geo-point fields. To resolve this issue, you can either reduce the dimensions of your geo-point data to 3 or less, or split the extra dimensions into separate fields. If the extra dimensions are not necessary, you can simply ignore them during indexing.
This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” geo coordinates greater than 3 dimensions are not supported ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: .
Log Context
Log “geo coordinates greater than 3 dimensions are not supported” class name is GeoJson.java. We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
alt = parser.doubleValue();
parser.nextToken();
}
// do not support > 3 dimensions
if (parser.currentToken() == XContentParser.Token.VALUE_NUMBER) {
throw new ElasticsearchParseException("geo coordinates greater than 3 dimensions are not supported");
}
return new Point(lon; lat; alt);
