Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to retrieve a document from an index using a specific ID, but the document or the index itself does not exist. To resolve this issue, you can verify the existence of the index and the document. Make sure the index, type, and ID are correctly spelled and case-sensitive. If the document doesn’t exist, you may need to create it. If the index doesn’t exist, you may need to create the index first before adding documents to it.
