What is the reason for "elasticsearch.BadRequestError: BadRequestError(400, 'x_content_parse_exception', '[1:137] unknown field [xlm_roberta]')"?

1. What do I want?

   I want to install an additional NLP model to Elasticsearch. The model is called multilingual-e5-base.

2. What did I do?

   Therefore, I followed the steps in Elasticsearch
   documentation.

3. What I expected?

   The multilingual-e5-base is successfully installed.

4. What I tried?

Here is the relevant section in my Python Notebook for the installation:

!source ../.env && \
eland_import_hub_model \
    --url ${REMOTE_HOST} \
    --es-username ${USER} \
    --es-password ${API_KEY} \
    --hub-model-id intfloat/multilingual-e5-base \
    --es-model-id multilingual-e5-base \
    --task-type text_embedding \
    --start

Error message:

raise HTTP_EXCEPTIONS.get(meta.status, ApiError)(
elasticsearch.BadRequestError: BadRequestError(400, 'x_content_parse_exception', '[1:137] unknown field [xlm_roberta]')

Note: I posted the same question on stackoverflow link

Hi there!

Looks like you got an answer on SO, where you need at least 8.9 or above to use this model.
