Elasticsearch-rails: Geo_point does not get update, but works on create.

[keferboeck]

Hi, I opened this issue today:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44631151/elasticsearch-rails-elasticsearch-5-4-geopoint-not-updating

I run a few more tests in the console, just to confirm the issue is not with my code. Everything gets updated and works as expected. The problem is that geo_code does not ever get updated on updates.

I think this is related to https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-rails/pull/182 (trying to understand how this works exactly myself...)

@keferboeck i had the same situation, so i found one possible solution:

The idea is after update your object with save or update_attributes method, force index again, like:

model_object.__elasticsearch__.index_document

[Meekohi]

@eduzera indeed, my own solution is to add this as a callback after any update:

# mobel.rb
  after_commit on: [:update] do
    __elasticsearch__.index_document
  end

so it re-indexes the entire object. Ideally we would have a solution like proposed in #182 that handles "partial updates" correctly even for derived attributes.
