Description
[GeoPandas](https://geopandas.org) is a library that integrates Pandas with geo-spatial data. The library receives ~20,000 downloads per day so is fairly well used. Could interface with Elasticsearch's [`geo_point`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html), [`geo_shape`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-shape.html), and [geo queries](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-queries.html)
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names GeoPandas, Pandas, and Elasticsearch's geo_point, geo_shape, and geo queries, but no repository files or tests. Start by reviewing how Eland currently integrates with Pandas and Elasticsearch, then determine the scope of GeoPandas support. Done would require a defined integration plan and documented implementation scope.
