Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is trying to index a document with a shape field, but the shape type is not specified. This is required for Elasticsearch to understand the geometry of the shape. To resolve this issue, you can either specify the shape type in the mapping or include it in the document you’re indexing. For example, if you’re indexing a polygon, you should include “type”: “polygon” in your document. Alternatively, you can specify the shape type in the mapping when creating the index.
