Can't get text on a START_OBJECT at 1:159]]

HI, I am a first time user of this forum, I hope this is the place to post this question/issue.
I have a customer that upgraded to ES 6.8.9 and now gets the following messages, what does this mean?

Preformatted text'ElasticsearchException[Elasticsearch exception [type=illegal_state_exception, reason=Can't get text on a START_OBJECT at 1:159]];

This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format:

There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons.

Lots of people read these forums, and many of them will simply skip over a post that is difficult to read, because it's just too large an investment of their time to try and follow a wall of badly formatted text.
