Support for (alternative for) GeoShapeQuery

[arthurvb]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We want to port our (Nest) Elastic API to the v8. Currently we use the GeoShapeQuery , mapping to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-geo-shape-query.html . However it seems that in the latest version we cannot create this query type.

Describe the solution you'd like
A way to create GeoShapeQuery's in the latest C# Elastic Client API

Describe alternatives you've considered
Looking at bounding boxes, geopolygon queries, but they all have different semantics

Additional context
Many thanks in advance!

Hi @arthurvb, the GeoShapeQuery indeed is one of the few things missing right now. It's definitely planned to bring back support for this, but in the meantime there is no workaround 🙁 (except for completely hand-crafting the query using the low-level client).

For those also stumble across this problem, this cannot be accomplished with QueryDescriptor<>.RawJson and RawJsonQuery.

The RawJsonQuery description says the following.

Allows a query represented as a string of JSON to be defined. This can be useful when support for a built-in query is not yet available.

However, the behavior I see is different from what I expected. I tried the following code snippet.

        // https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-geo-shape-query.html
        var filter = new
        {
            geo_shape = new
            {
                location = new
                {
                    shape = geometryCollection,
                    relation = "within"
                }
            }
        };
        var queryString = JsonSerializer.Serialize(filter);

        var result = await _client.SearchAsync<Prospect>(s => s
            .Query(q => q.RawJson(new RawJsonQuery(queryString))) // Line of code in question
            // .Query(new RawJsonQuery(queryString))) An alternative way, but same result
        );

Current Behavior

However the generated query was the following.

{
  "query": {
    "raw_json": { // The "raw_json" query type does not exist. I'm pretty sure this is not intended behavior.
      "geo_shape": {
        "location": {
          "shape": {
            "type": "GeometryCollection",
            "geometries": [
              {
                "type": "MultiPolygon",
                "coordinates": [
                  // skip for brevity
                ]
              }
            ]
          },
          "relation": "within"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Expected Behavior

{
  "query": {
    "geo_shape": {
      "location": {
        "shape": {
          "type": "GeometryCollection",
          "geometries": [
            {
              "type": "MultiPolygon",
              "coordinates": [
                // skip for brevity
              ]
            }
          ]
        },
        "relation": "within"
      }
    }
  }
}
