Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to process a field as a numeric type, but the field is not recognized as such. This could be due to incorrect mapping or data type mismatch. To resolve this, you can check the mapping of your index to ensure the field is correctly defined as a numeric type. If the field is not meant to be numeric, adjust your query or data input accordingly. Alternatively, you can reindex your data with the correct mapping if the data type is wrong.
