Briefly, this error occurs when there’s an attempt to copy an AtomicArray to another array of a different size in Elasticsearch. This is not allowed as AtomicArrays must be copied to arrays of the same size. To resolve this issue, ensure that the destination array is of the same size as the AtomicArray. If the sizes are different, you may need to resize the destination array or adjust the size of the data being copied to match the destination array size.
