Distance units

Description

Wherever distances need to be specified, such as the distance parameter in the Geo Distance Filter), the default unit if none is specified is the meter. Distances can be specified in other units, such as "1km" or "2mi" (2 miles).

Details

mi or miles	Mile
yd or yards	Yard
ft or feet	Feet
in or inch	Inch
km or kilometers	Kilometer
m or meters	Meter
cm or centimeters	Centimeter
mm or millimeters	Millimeter
NM, nmi or nauticalmiles	Nautical mile

The precision parameter in the Geohash Cell Filter accepts distances with the above units, but if no unit is specified, then the precision is interpreted as the length of the geohash.
