Does applying a 2dsphere index on a mongoose schema force the location field to be required?

Question

I have a mongoose schema and model defined as follows:

var mongoose = require(\'mongoose\')
  , Schema = new mongoose.Schema({
      email: {
        index:          


        

Answer 1

The only way I have resolved this issue was changing the index type from

GEO:{
    type: [Number],
    index: '2dsphere'
}

to

GEO:{
    type: [Number],
    index: '2d'
}

It was a nightmare
