I have got some errors while trying to import a couple of ml models by the command "eland\_import\_hub\_model".

In the one case I would like to import this model: _sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2_

```auto
$ eland_import_hub_model \ 
  --url http://localhost:9200 \ 
  --hub-model-id sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2 \ 
  --task-type text_embedding

```

But I got thi error:

````nohighlight
    main()
  File "/Users/xyz/.pyenv/versions/3.7.3/bin/eland_import_hub_model", line 104, in main
    tm = TransformerModel(args.hub_model_id, args.task_type, args.quantize)
  File "/Users/xyz/.pyenv/versions/3.7.3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/eland/ml/pytorch/transformers.py", line 394, in __init__

    return tokenizer_class_py.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name_or_path, *inputs, **kwargs)

  File "/Users/xyz/.pyenv/versions/3.7.3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/transformers/models/bert/tokenization_bert.py", line 193, in __init__
    if not os.path.isfile(vocab_file):
  File "/Users/xyz/.pyenv/versions/3.7.3/lib/python3.7/genericpath.py", line 30, in isfile
    st = os.stat(path)
TypeError: stat: path should be string, bytes, os.PathLike or integer, not NoneType```

````

The version of Elasticsearch is 7.17  
I've previously installed the following required modules through pip (version 22.0.4): _torchvision_, _transformers, sentence\_transformers_.

Further, if I execute the command as exactly reported in in [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/machine-learning/master/ml-nlp-deploy-models.html#ml-nlp-import-model) (and so, importing a different model)

```auto
 $ eland_import_hub_model \ 
  --url http://localhost:9200 \ 
  --hub-model-id elastic/distilbert-base-cased-finetuned-conll03-english \
  --task-type ner

```

it throws this error:

```auto
elasticsearch.BadRequestError: BadRequestError(400, 'x_content_parse_exception', '[1:22] unknown field [ner]')

```

Some tips?
