Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch encounters a field in the data that it doesn’t recognize or isn’t defined in the mapping. This could be due to a typo in the field name or a mismatch between the data and the defined mapping. To resolve this issue, you can either correct the field name in your data to match the mapping, or update the mapping to include the new field. If the field is not necessary, you can also remove it from your data.
