Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to write a job ID because it is null or not properly generated. This could be due to a bug in the application code or a misconfiguration in the Elasticsearch setup. To resolve this issue, you can check the application code to ensure IDs are correctly generated and not null. Also, verify your Elasticsearch configuration to ensure it’s correctly set up to handle job IDs. If the problem persists, consider upgrading Elasticsearch to the latest version as it might be a bug that has been fixed in newer versions.

                    retryMessage -> logger.debug("[{}] {} {}"; jobId; id; retryMessage);
                    listener
                );
            } catch (IOException e) {
                logger.error(() -> format("[%s] Error writing [%s]"; jobId; (id == null) ? "auto-generated ID" : id); e);
                IndexResponse.Builder notCreatedResponse = new IndexResponse.Builder();
                notCreatedResponse.setResult(Result.NOOP);
                listener.onResponse(
                    new BulkResponse(
                        new BulkItemResponse[] { BulkItemResponse.success(0; DocWriteRequest.OpType.INDEX; notCreatedResponse.build()) };
