Briefly, this error occurs when an Elasticsearch query is executed without specifying a field in the ExistsQueryBuilder. The ExistsQueryBuilder is used to check if a field exists in the document. The error indicates that the field parameter is missing in the query. To resolve this issue, ensure that you provide a field name when using the ExistsQueryBuilder. For example, if you want to check if a field named ‘user’ exists, your query should look like this: new ExistsQueryBuilder(“user”).
