Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to parse the getId request due to incorrect syntax, missing parameters, or data type mismatch. To resolve this issue, you should first verify the syntax of your request. Ensure that all required parameters are included and in the correct format. If the error persists, check if the data types of your parameters match the expected data types in the Elasticsearch API. Lastly, ensure that your Elasticsearch version supports the getId request you’re trying to execute.

Log Context

                    SequenceNumbers.UNASSIGNED_PRIMARY_TERM
                );
                executeWatch(request; listener; watch; false);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                logger.error(() -> "failed to parse [" + request.getId() + "]"; e);
                listener.onFailure(e);
            }
        } else {
            listener.onFailure(new IllegalArgumentException("no watch provided"));
        }
