Both FROMMEMBER and FROMLONLAT cannot be used.

Error message

Both FROMMEMBER and FROMLONLAT cannot be used.

What it means

GEOSEARCH accepts exactly one origin: FROMMEMBER (a sorted-set member) or FROMLONLAT (coordinates). GeoSearchParam.addParams() detects that both fromMember and fromLonLat were set and refuses to build a command that Redis would reject, throwing this IllegalArgumentException client-side.

Solutions

1. Remove one of the two origin calls so only fromMember OR fromLonLat remains
2. If the origin is dynamic, branch explicitly and set only one, e.g. member != null ? param.fromMember(member) : param.fromLonLat(lon, lat)
3. Reset/rebuild the GeoSearchParam instead of reusing one that already has an origin set

Example fix

// before
GeoSearchParam p = new GeoSearchParam().fromMember("palermo").fromLonLat(15.0, 37.0);
// after
GeoSearchParam p = new GeoSearchParam().fromMember("palermo");

if (fromMember != null && coords != null) throw new IllegalStateException("Set only one GEOSEARCH origin: FROMMEMBER or FROMLONLAT");

GeoSearchParam origin(GeoSearchParam p, String member, double lon, double lat) {
  return member != null ? p.fromMember(member) : p.fromLonLat(lon, lat);
}

try {
  jedis.geosearch(key, params);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
  params = rebuildWithSingleOrigin();
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling both .fromMember(...) and .fromLonLat(lon, lat) (or .fromCoordinate(...)) on the same GeoSearchParam before executing GEOSEARCH or GEOSEARCHSTORE.

Common situations: Merging two param-building code paths that each set a different origin; conditionally setting an origin but accidentally setting both branches; copy-paste leaving a stale fromLonLat default.
