does anyone knows the solution ?

@lmssy
Have you solved this issue ?

[carsonip]

Sorry for the late reply. I am unable to reproduce the issue with v7.17.23 Elasticsearch and v0.108.0 elasticsearchexporter with a simpler config:

receivers:
  otlp:
    protocols:
      grpc:
        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4317
      http:
        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4318
exporters:
  debug:
  elasticsearch/trace:
    endpoints: [https://redacted.elastic-cloud.com]
    traces_index: trace_index
    user: redacted
    password: redacted
service:
  pipelines:
    traces:
      receivers: [otlp]
      processors: []
      exporters: [debug,elasticsearch/trace]

Questions

• Do you get the same error without processors memory_limiter/trace,tail_sampling,batch/trace?
• What kind of otlp payload are you sending to the collector? Does this happen with a very simple test span?
• Which exact v7 version are you using?
• Are there 0 documents indexed into Elasticsearch despite the error logs? Do you notice a pattern within the dropped documents, if there are any?
• Are you somehow assigning _id or _version to the documents?

[t673afa]

I encountered the same error when using ES V7.3.2, but upgraded ES to V7.17.24 and restored it to normal

[carsonip]

I managed to reproduce this. It is because in version ES 7.3.2, bulk API create action requires an ID. It is not required after elastic/elasticsearch#45806 which was released in 7.5.0. As these are all very old versions and are no longer supported, elasticsearchexporter is not going to add code to handle these cases. Please update your Elasticsearch to fix these errors.

This issue is good to close.
