[Question\Sugestion] Support WKT point conversion to geo_point type #252

Closed 4nonym0us closed 5 years ago

Having WKT support only for geo_shape and not for geo_point is a bit confusing because WKT specification has GeoPoint representation.

Would't it be good to have an option to use WKT's point syntax POINT (X, Y) for geo_point for consistency as support even for more complex WKT primitives and multipart geometries is already present for geo_shape?

Moving the issue to appropriate repository.

@sckott yeah, that's what I did. Sorry for opening issue here (had too much tabs opened in my browser and created issue here accidentally).
