This could be due to a typo, deprecated setting, or a setting that doesn’t exist. To resolve this issue, you can check the Elasticsearch documentation to verify the correct settings. If the setting is deprecated, find the updated equivalent. If it’s a typo, correct it. If the setting doesn’t exist, remove it from the configuration. After making changes, restart Elasticsearch to apply them.
