I am using Elasticsearch 8.7.0....... While inserting any document I am getting this kind of error. In previously versions which includes the field path where got and error now It Shows only RequestError(400, 'mapper\_parsing\_exception', 'failed to parse') /usr/bin/python3.8 /home/anand/PycharmProjects/SampleProject1/Elasticsearch\_practice.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/anand/PycharmProjects/SampleProject1/Elasticsearch\_practice.py", line 1245, in response = dell\_esconnection.index(index="mr-jobs2", doc\_type="\_doc", id=str("54bf556160e65dc20379e7d8"), body=doc\_body) File "/home/anand/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/elasticsearch/client/utils.py", line 168, in \_wrapped return func(\*args, params=params, headers=headers, \*\*kwargs) File "/home/anand/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/elasticsearch/client/ **init**.py", line 406, in index return self.transport.perform\_request( File "/home/anand/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/elasticsearch/transport.py", line 458, in perform\_request raise e File "/home/anand/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/elasticsearch/transport.py", line 419, in perform\_request status, headers\_response, data = connection.perform\_request( File "/home/anand/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/elasticsearch/connection/http\_urllib3.py", line 277, in perform\_request self.\_raise\_error(response.status, raw\_data) File "/home/anand/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/elasticsearch/connection/base.py", line 330, in \_raise\_error raise HTTP\_EXCEPTIONS.get(status\_code, TransportError)( elasticsearch.exceptions.RequestError: RequestError(400, 'mapper\_parsing\_exception', 'failed to parse') Process finished with exit code 1 I updated my setting to.....

> [@Anand\_Konagala](#): > > Why I got this error??? Mapping parser exception is a common error, it means that you are trying to index a field that has a different mapping on your index. Please, share the mapping of your index, you can get it running `GET indexName/_mapping` on Kibana Dev Tools. > [@Anand\_Konagala](#): > > for ignore the parser\_exception Still it showing this kind of error `ignore_malformed` does not work for every mapping type as explained in the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ignore-malformed.html#json-object-limits), it does not work for the most common issue of this error which is when you have mapping conflict with fields that are json objects. Please share your mapping and also the document you are trying to index. ---

Which is very Large it exceeds the limit of characters.

> [@Anand\_Konagala](#): > > So,Can you tell me that how can I find that Where I got an error According to this [github comment](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/551#issuecomment-442512688) you need to capture the _TransportError_ and print it to see the full error. Something like this: ```auto try: # code you are using to try to index the data except TransportError as e: print(e.info) ``` You may also compare the fields in your document with the same fields in your mapping to see which one could give you a mapping error, for example, being a object in your document, but not in the mapping. ---
