Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to round a geographical point, which is not possible. This usually happens when you’re using a geo_point field in a date histogram aggregation or any other rounding operation. To resolve this issue, ensure that you’re using the correct field for your operations. If you’re dealing with geographical data, use geo aggregations like geo_bounds or geo_centroid.
