Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch attempts to parse a value as a double data type, but the value is not compatible. This could be due to incorrect data type in the mapping or a non-numeric value being indexed in a double field. To resolve this, ensure that the data type in your mapping matches the data you’re indexing. If the data type is correct, check the data being indexed for any non-numeric values. If necessary, you may need to clean or transform your data before indexing it.
