Hi, I am trying to read the data from index in ES using pyspark. I am able to load the data into the dataframe. Used this code reader = spark.read.format("es").option("es.read.metadata", True).option("es.port","9200").option("es.nodes", "[http://xx.x.x.xxx](http://xx.x.x.xxx)").option("es.read.field.as.array.include","XRAM,XCPU,count,message") df = reader.load("webserverstats") df.printSchema() ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/d/2d762ddbc73e0cc8653531ca3a3fefc446f248ae.png) . Its schema is there. Later on this error occured. new\_df=df.toPandas() new\_df.show() ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/2/5246b52a82c68ec1b9a7484771ca303ef20dab02.png) . Could anybody help resolve this issue. Thanks in advance. ---
