Briefly, this error occurs when you’re using the outdated [nested_path] parameter in your Elasticsearch query. Elasticsearch has deprecated this parameter in favour of the [nested] parameter. To resolve this issue, you should replace [nested_path] with [nested] in your query. Also, ensure that the structure of your query aligns with the new [nested] parameter requirements. This change should resolve the error and allow your query to execute successfully.
