Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch encounters a field in the data that it expects to be a boolean, but the value provided doesn’t match the expected boolean values (true or false). This could be due to incorrect data input or mapping. To resolve this issue, you can either correct the data input to match the expected boolean values or adjust the mapping of the index to correctly interpret the data. Alternatively, you can use a script to convert the non-boolean values into boolean ones during the indexing process.

} else if (RETURN_DETAILED_INFO.match(fieldName; parser.getDeprecationHandler())) {

} else {
throw new ElasticsearchParseException("Unknown boolean property: [" + fieldName + "]");
}
} else if (token == XContentParser.Token.VALUE_STRING) {
if (TIMEOUT_FIELD.match(fieldName; parser.getDeprecationHandler())) {
graphRequest.timeout(TimeValue.parseTimeValue(parser.text(); null; "timeout"));
