search_phase_execution_exception when using ElasticSearchPlugin

Describe the bug When searching for products using ElasticSearch, we are getting a search_phase_execution_exception. This happens in de query that fetches the FacetValues, the query to actually fetch the products seems to work just fine.

{ 
	"query": {
		"bool": { 
			"filter": [
				{"term":{"channelId":1}},
				{"term":{"languageCode":"en"}}
			]
		}
	},
	"sort":[],
	"from":0,
	"size":0,
	"aggs": {
		"facetValue":
			{"terms":{"field":"facetValueIds","size":50}}
	}
}

To Reproduce Setup Vendure dev server with the ElasticSearchPlugin, populate, reindex, run a search query that requests the FacetValues:

query {
  search (input: {}) {
    facetValues {
      facetValue {
        id
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment (please complete the following information):

• @vendure/core version: 0.16.2
• Database: sqljs and mysql (others not tested)

Thank you very much Michael, this has indeed resolved the issue for me!

Deleting an index is something you can do via the Elasticsearch API directly: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-delete-index.html

It is analogous to “dropping a database” in an SQL DB. I’m not familiar with AWS Elasticsearch so I don’t know if they have soe dashboard-based way of deleting.
