To resolve this issue, you should review the Elasticsearch documentation to understand which fields are supported by the [has_parent] query. Then, modify your query to only use these supported fields. Additionally, ensure that your data structure and mapping are correctly defined to avoid such issues.

 innerHits = InnerHitBuilder.fromXContent(parser);
 } else {
 throw new ParsingException(parser.getTokenLocation(); "[has_parent] query does not support [" + currentFieldName + "]");
 }
 } else if (token.isValue()) {
 if (PARENT_TYPE_FIELD.match(currentFieldName; parser.getDeprecationHandler())) {
 parentType = parser.text();
