we are facing above issue while uploading large sets of data from postgres table. based on basic research it looks like, its because of malfunctioned data. how to fix this ? how to identify what data is causing this issue. tried on logstash 8.2.0 and 7.1.5, issue is same.No errors on Elasticsearch, Please help TIA ---
