Known issues

ES|QL
  • Some valid queries using an ENRICH command can fail when a match field is used that is absent from some indices or shards, either with a 500 status code due to NullPointerException or ClassCastException or with a 400 status code and IllegalArgumentException. This is fixed in #126187.
