This usually happens when multiple processes are trying to update the same document simultaneously. To resolve this issue, you can use the retry_on_conflict parameter to automatically retry the update operation a certain number of times. Alternatively, you can implement a version control mechanism in your application to ensure that updates are performed in a sequential manner.

 getLastAcceptedVersion(); clusterState.version());
 } else {
 logger.debug("handlePublishRequest: ignored publish request due to version mismatch (expected: >[{}]; actual: [{}])";
 getLastAcceptedVersion(); clusterState.version());
 throw new CoordinationStateRejectedException("incoming version " + clusterState.version() +
 " lower or equal to current version " + getLastAcceptedVersion());
 }
 }  logger.trace("handlePublishRequest: accepting publish request for version [{}] and term [{}]";
