Add pre-indexed shape support to geo-polygon query

[nreese]

Kibana puts Elasticsearch filters in the URL. Geo-polygon queries can be very long when the polygon contains lots of vertices. This can cause problems where the URL exceeds the allowable limit, as explained in elastic/kibana#45521.

The Kibana Maps application would like to solve this problem by using pre-indexed shape in both geo-shape queries and geo-polygon queries. The problem is that geo-polygon does not support pre-indexed shapes like geo-shape query does.

Hi @nreese ,

One of there ideas we are trying to achieve is to be able to perform geo_shape queries on top of geo_point fields. There is still some work to at Lucene level as well as defining the behaviour for different spatial operations.

This can be closed as now geo_shape queries can be used with geo_point fields.
