Briefly, this error occurs when the value you’re trying to convert is too large for the target data type. Elasticsearch has limits on the size of data that can be converted into certain types. For instance, a long type can’t hold a value larger than 2^63-1. To resolve this, you can either reduce the size of the value you’re trying to convert, or change the target data type to one that can hold larger values. Alternatively, you can split the large value into smaller chunks that fit within the target data type’s limits.
