Indexing

To Reproduce

1. Start fresh instance with Docker:

docker run --rm -p 9200:9200 -e 'DISABLE_SECURITY_PLUGIN=true' -e "discovery.type=single-node" opensearchproject/opensearch:2.19.0

2. Create an index:

PUT /geoscratch
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "id": {
        "type": "keyword"
      },
      "placeShape": {
        "type": "geo_shape"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Insert into that index

POST /geoscratch/_doc/1
{ 
  "id": "output_scale2",
  "placeShape": { "type": "MultiPolygon", "coordinates": [ [ [ [ -174, -79 ], [ -179, -79 ], [ -49, -59 ], [ -54, -74 ], [ 14, -67 ], [ 14, -69 ], [ -56, -75 ], [ -52, -60 ], [ -174, -79 ] ] ] ] } 
}

4. Result is:

{
    "error": {
        "root_cause": [
            {
                "type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
                "reason": "failed to parse field [placeShape] of type [geo_shape]"
            }
        ],
        "type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
        "reason": "failed to parse field [placeShape] of type [geo_shape]",
        "caused_by": {
            "type": "illegal_argument_exception",
            "reason": "Unable to Tessellate shape. Possible malformed shape detected."
        }
    },
    "status": 400
}

Expected behavior

Shape inserted correctly.

Additional Details

Plugins
None, security plugin disabled for development purposes.

Host/Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Docker Desktop 4.37.1 running on Windows 11
• Version: 2.19.0 (official Docker image)

Additional context
This issue manifested with a much larger, more complex shapefile. This is the most minimal version I could create that displays the same behaviour.

Apologies, it appears that this error message comes up when GeoJSON doesn't follow the right-hand rule
