Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to write a job with an ID that is either null or not auto-generated. This could be due to a programming error or a misconfiguration. To resolve this issue, ensure that the job ID is being correctly generated and is not null before attempting to write the job. Alternatively, check your Elasticsearch configuration to ensure that it is set to auto-generate IDs. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to debug your code or configuration to identify the root cause.
