Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch receives multiple results or errors for a single subject, which is against its design principle. It expects a one-to-one mapping between subjects and results or errors. This could be due to incorrect query formation or a bug in the application. To resolve this, ensure your queries are correctly formed and returning a single result per subject. If the problem persists, debug your application to identify and fix any potential bugs causing this issue. Also, ensure your Elasticsearch version is up-to-date as this could be a bug fixed in a newer version.
