Briefly, this error occurs when an unsupported parameter is passed to the _mtermvectors API in Elasticsearch. The API doesn’t recognize the parameter and thus throws an error. To resolve this issue, you should review the parameters you’re passing to the API. Ensure they are all supported and correctly spelled. Also, check the Elasticsearch version you’re using, as some parameters might not be supported in older versions. If the problem persists, consider removing all parameters to see if the API works without them, then add them back one by one to identify the problematic parameter.
