Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to parse the time because it’s not in the required format (hh:mm). This could be due to incorrect data input or a formatting issue in the code. To resolve this, ensure that the time data being inputted is in the correct format. If the issue persists, check the code where the time parsing is happening and correct any formatting errors. Additionally, consider implementing data validation to prevent incorrect time formats from being entered.
