Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to update the status of a task with a specific ID, but the allocation ID associated with that task is different than expected. This could be due to a task being reallocated or a data inconsistency. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1) Check for any inconsistencies in your data and correct them. 2) If the task was reallocated, update the allocation ID in your request to match the current one. 3) If the problem persists, consider deleting and recreating the task with the correct allocation ID.

This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” The task [{}] with id [{}] was found but it has a different allocation id [{}]; status is not updated ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: task, allocation, persistent.

Log Context

Log “The task [{}] with id [{}] was found but it has a different allocation id [{}]; status is not updated” classname is PersistentTasksClusterService.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

                if (tasksInProgress.hasTask(id; allocationId)) {
                    tasksInProgress.removeTask(id);
                    return update(currentState; tasksInProgress);
                } else {
                    if (tasksInProgress.hasTask(id)) {
                        logger.warn("The task [{}] with id [{}] was found but it has a different allocation id [{}]; status is not updated";
                                PersistentTasksCustomMetadata.getTaskWithId(currentState; id).getTaskName(); id; allocationId);
                    } else {
                        logger.warn("The task [{}] wasn't found; status is not updated"; id);
                    }
                    throw new ResourceNotFoundException("the task with id [" + id + "] and allocation id [" + allocationId + "] not found");
