Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to add a query due to issues like incorrect query syntax, incompatible data types, or insufficient resources. To resolve this, you can check the query syntax for any errors and ensure it matches the Elasticsearch query DSL. Also, verify that the data types in your query match those in your index. If the issue persists, consider increasing the resources allocated to Elasticsearch, as the error might be due to insufficient memory or disk space.
