Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch encounters an enrich policy type that it doesn’t recognize. This usually happens when you’re trying to create or update an enrich policy with a type that is not supported. To resolve this issue, ensure that you’re using a valid enrich policy type. The valid types are ‘exact_match’ and ‘geo_match’. Check your policy configuration and correct the type if it’s incorrect. If you’re using a custom enrich policy type, ensure it’s properly registered and recognized by Elasticsearch.
