Hi Nour,

This bug was previously identified and was fixed in v6.2.2. The latest version available for download right now is v6.2.3, so it will contain this fix.

thanks

Hmmm...I thought the fix _was_ in v6.2.2. Ok - well, if after you upgrade to v6.2.3 and you still see the problem, please let us know.

It seems as if the fix that went into v6.2 didn't entirely fix this issue. I've notified the dev team and this will be remedied in v6.3 which should be out sometime next month.

Thank you for letting us know

Just wanted to chime in that I too am seeing this error on Elasticsearch 6.2.3.

Look forward to the 6.3 release. 🙂
