Briefly, this error occurs when you try to perform a query on a field using the MULTILINESTRING shape type, which is not supported by that field in Elasticsearch. To resolve this issue, you can either change the shape type of your query to one that is supported by the field, or modify the field mapping to support MULTILINESTRING queries. Alternatively, you can reindex your data with the correct field mapping that supports the MULTILINESTRING shape type.

 throw new QueryShardException(context; "Field [" + fieldName + "] does not support " + ShapeType.LINEARRING + " queries");
 }  @Override
 public Query visit(MultiLine multiLine) {
 throw new QueryShardException(context; "Field [" + fieldName + "] does not support " + ShapeType.MULTILINESTRING + " queries");
 }  @Override
 public Query visit(MultiPoint multiPoint) {
 throw new QueryShardException(context; "Field [" + fieldName + "] does not support " + ShapeType.MULTIPOINT + " queries");
