Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch receives a response type that it doesn’t expect, based on its configuration. This could be due to a mismatch between the data type sent in the request and the data type expected by Elasticsearch. To resolve this issue, you can: 1) Check the data type in your request and ensure it matches with the configured data type in Elasticsearch. 2) Review your Elasticsearch configuration and adjust it to accept the data type you’re sending. 3) If you’re using a client library, ensure it’s correctly configured to send the expected data type.
