JR64968: PROCESS FEDERATION SERVER SEARCH QUERIES FAIL IF A RETURNED DOCUMENT CONTAINS THE _IGNORED FIELD

8.6.30021030-WS-BPMPFS-IFJR64968
8.6.20021020-WS-BPMPFS-IFJR64968

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The _ignored field indexes and stores the names of every field
  in a document that has been ignored when the document was
  indexed. This can, for example, be the case when a keyword field
   value length exceeds the ignore_above setting. When
  Elasticsearch indexes a new string field, the Elasticsearch
  default dynamic mapping rules create a sub keyword field that
  sets ignore_above: 256. If Elasticsearch created a _ignored
  field in a document that should be returned by a search, the
  search query returns the following response:
  {
    "exceptionType": "UnexpectedFailureException",
    "errorMessage": "CWMFS4020E: Internal system error :
  Exception when processing remote elastic search response:
  _ignored is an unknown scripted field",
    "errorMessageParameters": [
       "Exception when processing remote elastic search response:
  _ignored is an unknown scripted field"
     ],
    "errorNumber": "CWMFS4020E",
    "status": 500
  }
