{"from":0,"size":250,"query":{"bool":{"must":[{"match\_all":{"boost":1.0}},{"bool":{"must":[{"terms":{"msid":["-1"],"boost":1.0}}],"adjust\_pure\_negative":true,"boost":1.0}}],"adjust\_pure\_negative":true,"boost":1.0}},"\_source":{"includes":["-4","-3","-5","-6","4421","-7","100","61d","65d","-1","64d","4872d","2432","2434d","2433","1","2","5","4","1746","6","1989","50","2367","4419","4420","msid"],"excludes":},"sort":[{"-5":{"order":"asc","unmapped\_type":"long"}}]}

Question-:when i am trying to execute this query, after conversion from java code to elastic search query it is throwing this exception
