Q1Domain Verified
When indexing a large dataset of geographic points in Elasticsearch for geospatial queries, which of the following mapping strategies is most efficient for supporting both precise point searches and broader area queries (e.g., within a polygon)?
Storing coordinates as a single `geo_point` field with explicit latitude and longitude keys.
Using a `geo_shape` field with `type: "point"` for each individual coordinate.
Utilizing a `geo_point` field with a `geohash` precision set to a very high value (e.g., 12) to capture maximum detail.
Employing a `geo_shape` field configured with `tree: "quadtree"` and a moderate `precision` to balance indexing speed and query performance.
Q2Domain Verified
In Elasticsearch, what is the primary advantage of using the `geo_shape` data type over the `geo_point` data type when dealing with complex geospatial relationships like "intersects" or "within" involving polygons and multipolygons?
) and their complex spatial relationships, whereas `geo_point` is primarily for single points. C) `geo_point` offers superior indexing performance for large volumes of individual points, making it the default choice for all geospatial data.
`geo_shape` allows for direct storage of KML and GeoJSON data without prior conversion, simplifying data ingestion.
`geo_shape` supports a wider range of geometric primitives (polygons, linestrings, et
`geo_point` is optimized for exact location matching, while `geo_shape` is better for approximate radius searches.
Q3Domain Verified
Consider an Elasticsearch index containing millions of `geo_point` documents representing customer locations. You need to perform a query that finds all customers within a specified administrative boundary (a large polygon). Which query type and mapping strategy would be most performant and scalable for this scenario?
A `geo_distance` query on a `geo_point` field, with the center of the query being the centroid of the administrative polygon.
A `geo_shape` query using the `within` relation against a `geo_shape` field that stores the administrative boundary.
A `geohash_grid` aggregation followed by a `geo_bounding_box` filter on the aggregated geohash cells.
A `script_score` query that calculates the distance of each `geo_point` from the nearest point on the polygon boundary.
