Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch fails to update the mapping of an index, specifically the “finished time” field. This could be due to a mismatch in the data type of the field or a conflict in the mapping. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1) Check the mapping of the index and ensure the data type of the “finished time” field is correct. 2) If there’s a conflict, you may need to reindex your data with the correct mapping. 3) Ensure that the Elasticsearch cluster has sufficient resources to perform the mapping update.
