Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to delete a specific role mapping due to reasons such as insufficient permissions, incorrect role mapping name, or internal server issues. To resolve this, ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to delete role mappings. Also, verify that the role mapping name is correct. If the problem persists, check the server logs for any internal issues and rectify them.
In addition we recommend you run the Elasticsearch Template Optimizer to fix problems in your data modeling.
It will analyze your templates to detect issues and improve search performance, reduce indexing bottlenecks and optimize storage utilization. The Template Optimizer is free and requires no installation.
Overview
DELETE is an Elasticsearch API which removes a document from a specific index. This API requires an index name and _id document to delete the document.
Delete a document
DELETE /my_index/_doc/1
Notes
- A delete request throws 404 error code if the document does not already exist in the index.
- If you want to delete a set of documents that matches a query, you need to use delete by query API.

Log “failed to delete role-mapping [{}]” classname is NativeRoleMappingStore.java.

logger.error(new ParameterizedMessage("failed to delete role-mapping [{}]"; request.getName()); e);
