Briefly, this error occurs when more than one aggregation is used in a PIVOT query in Elasticsearch. PIVOT queries currently support only one aggregation. To resolve this issue, you can either split your query into multiple queries each with a single aggregation, or you can use a different type of query that supports multiple aggregations.

 UnresolvedAttribute column = new UnresolvedAttribute(source(pivotClause.column); visitQualifiedName(pivotClause.column));

 if (values.size() > 1) {
 throw new ParsingException(source(pivotClause.aggs); "PIVOT currently supports only one aggregation; found [{}]";
 values.size());
 }
 plan = new Pivot(source(pivotClause); plan; column; namedValues(pivotClause.vals); namedValues(pivotClause.aggs));
