Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to access a field in an index that does not exist. This could be due to a typo in the field name, or the field was not created in the index. To resolve this issue, you can check the field name for any typos or mistakes. If the field name is correct, ensure that the field exists in the index by checking the index mapping.
