Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch encounters an unknown field in the JSON object during indexing or querying. This could be due to a typo in the field name or the field not being defined in the mapping. To resolve this issue, you can either correct the field name if it’s a typo, or update the index mapping to include the new field. Alternatively, you can set “ignore_malformed” to true in your index settings to ignore such errors, but this could lead to data loss or incorrect search results.
