Span not must have include span query clause – How to solve this Elasticsearch exception

Opster Team

August-23, Version: 6.8-8.9

Briefly, this error occurs when an Elasticsearch span_not query is missing the required [include] clause. The span_not query is used to match spans which are not between the start and end of another span, and it requires both [include] and [exclude] clauses. To resolve this issue, you should ensure that your span_not query includes both these clauses. If the [include] clause is missing, simply add it with the appropriate span query. If you’re unsure of the syntax, refer to the Elasticsearch documentation for examples of correctly structured span_not queries.
