Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:
When I include a geo distance query into the should clause of my master bool query and use this query to search for results, it would produce a java.io.IOException: Unknown GeoDistance ordinal [2]
Expected: search to return with correct results. Actual: search produces an IOException.

Notes & Observations:

• The master bool query also contains other queries in its other clauses. However, the search with the same parameters works when the geo distance query is excluded.
• The search is successful if I manually copy the master bool query string and paste it into my ElasticSearch Head browser plugin (and also curl I'm assuming).

Steps to reproduce:

BoolQueryBuilder queryBuilder = QueryBuilders.boolQuery();
queryBuilder.should(
    QueryBuilders.geoDistanceQuery(term).point(origin).distance(distance)
);

client.prepareSearch(index)
        .setTypes(type)
        .setFrom(from)
        .setSize(size)
        .setQuery(queryBuilder);
