Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to parse a date field due to an incorrect or incompatible date format. This could be because the date format in the data doesn’t match the format specified in the mapping or during a query. To resolve this, ensure that the date format in your data matches the format specified in your Elasticsearch mapping. Alternatively, you can use the “date_optional_time” format which supports most date/time formats. If the error occurs during a query, make sure the date format in the query matches the one in the mapping.
