Data was indexed successfully but we got the response below from Elastic. Is there a reason why Elastic returned error but data is still indexed?

Error: %{"errors" =\> true, "items" =\> [%{"index" =\> %{"\_id" =\> "tracts-598812", "\_index" =\> "forms", "\_type" =\> "\_doc", "error" =\> %{"caused\_by" =\> %{"reason" =\> "Cannot determine orientation: signed area equal to 0.

When are you getting this response? What are you sending to Elasticsearch when you get it? What is the mapping of the doc? What does a doc look like?
