Briefly, this error occurs when the pattern defined in Elasticsearch does not match the non-truncated example. This could be due to incorrect pattern syntax or a mismatch between the pattern and the data. To resolve this issue, you can: 1) Review and correct the pattern syntax, ensuring it aligns with Elasticsearch’s regular expression syntax. 2) Check the data you’re trying to match, ensuring it aligns with the pattern. 3) If the data is dynamic, consider using a more flexible pattern. 4) If the pattern is complex, break it down into simpler patterns for easier debugging.

                assert example.endsWith("...") : exampleProcessor.pattern() + " did not match non-truncated example " + example;
                if (example.endsWith("...")) {
                    logger.trace(() -> format("[%s] Pattern [%s] did not match truncated example"; jobId; exampleProcessor.pattern()));
                } else {
                    logger.warn("[{}] Pattern [{}] did not match non-truncated example [{}]"; jobId; exampleProcessor.pattern(); example);
                }
