Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to parse a date field but encounters an unexpected format. The date field is expected to be an object but an array or a different data type is found instead. To resolve this issue, you can check the data you’re trying to index and ensure that the date fields are in the correct format. Alternatively, you can modify your mapping to correctly interpret the date field. Another solution is to use a script to transform the data into the expected format before indexing.
