Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch fails to compile a script due to issues with the script’s language or syntax. The ‘type’, ‘id’, and ‘lang’ are placeholders for the script type, script id, and script language respectively. To resolve this, ensure that the script language is supported and correctly specified. Also, check the script for any syntax errors or unsupported operations. If the script is too complex, consider simplifying it or breaking it down into smaller parts.
