Briefly, this error occurs when you’re trying to round a histogram in Elasticsearch, which is not possible because histograms are used to group numeric data into ranges. To resolve this issue, you can either remove the rounding function or convert the histogram into a data type that can be rounded. Alternatively, you can use the “interval” parameter to define the width of the histogram’s buckets, which can give a similar effect to rounding.
