Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch fails to update the statistics of a data transform due to issues with the transform configuration ID. This could be due to the ID not existing, being incorrect, or the transform being in a state that doesn’t allow updates. To resolve this, ensure the transform configuration ID is correct and exists. Also, check the state of the transform and make sure it’s in a state that allows updates. If the problem persists, consider recreating the transform with a new ID.

                                logger.error("Updating stats of transform [" + transformConfig.getId() + "] failed"; statsExc);
                                auditor.warning(getJobId();
                                    "Failure updating stats of transform: " + statsExc.getMessage());

                                    transformTask.shutdown();
