Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to parse a specific field or value in the data. This could be due to incorrect data types, malformed JSON, or incorrect field mapping. To resolve this issue, you can: 1) Check the data you’re trying to index to ensure it’s correctly formatted and matches the expected data types. 2) Review your field mappings to ensure they align with the data. 3) If you’re using dynamic mapping, consider switching to explicit mapping for more control. 4) Use the Elasticsearch Validate API to debug the issue.
