issue with GeoPoint

[eddyLazar]

Issue Description

I used GeoPoint parse field type, as described in documentation but did not succeed trying to use {"$within": {"$box": {[southwestGeoPoint, northeastGeoPoint]}}} for queries, it always return empty results. Then I tried to reproduce everything with mongo shell, and there is a difference between GeoPoint which is created in parse and a way which is described in mongo docs

Output when creating GeoPoint field manually according to mongo docs is

"location" : {
        "coordinates" : [ 
            55.7542146071183, 
            37.6188521534424
        ],
        "type" : "Point"
    },

Output when creating GeoPoint field with parse server as documented "__type": "GeoPoint", "latitude": 40.0, "longitude": -30.0

"location" : [ 
     37.6225, 
     55.7512
],

In first case Geo Queries works, in second does not. I'm new to mongo geo data, so maybe there is some confusion with mongo versions or engine about which i don't know.
Thanks!

Can you provide the logs when running with VERBOSE=1 for this query please?

used curl example from docs http://docs.parseplatform.org/rest/guide/#geopoint
mongo version 3.4

[flovilmart]

Your curl only shows creating an object with a single point, can you please provide the query logs?

[flovilmart]

the query you’re sending is not using polygons as constraints. Is that intended?

[eddyLazar]

Oh, I'm sorry it was my mistake, the query some how works fine. But still there is a difference in types which actually confused me at first and I thought it was a reason

from parse

"location" : {
        "coordinates" : [ 
            55.7542146071183, 
            37.6188521534424
        ],
        "type" : "Point"
}

from mongo

"location" : [ 
     37.6225, 
     55.7512
]

Is it by design? Anyway issue can be closed. Thanks a lot for your response

[flovilmart]

Yes it’s by design, the way data is stored is not 1-1 from mongo to parse, you’ll see also that ACL’s are split to have a better index performance.
