DATA_STORE_BUNDLE_NOT_SUPPORTED	The N/dataStore API isn't supported for scripts that belong to a bundle.	The executing script belongs to a bundle.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_DOCUMENT	Functions can't be used as values in documents, queries, or updates. Replace each function with a supported value.	A supplied document, query, or update contains a JavaScript function as a value, including within nested objects or arrays.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_DOCUMENT	Data Store inputs must not contain circular references.	The query contains a circular reference.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	The query expression exceeds the limit of 300 operators. Simplify the query.	The query expression contains more than 300 operators, including implicit comparisons and logical connectors.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Use no more than 100 values with each $in operator.	An $in operand contains more than 100 values.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Use $and or $or for logical query operations.	A query uses an unsupported logical operator.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Field operator objects must contain at least one operator.	A field-operator object is empty.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Use a number or string with ordering comparison operators.	An ordering comparison uses an incompatible operand.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	The field operator or direct object comparison isn't supported. Use a supported operator or compare individual object properties.	A query uses an unsupported field operator or directly compares an object.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	$exists requires true or false.	The $exists operand is not a boolean.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Nested $elemMatch isn't supported.	The query nests $elemMatch.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Field paths are limited to 32 segments and 256 UTF-8 bytes.	A complete query path exceeds either limit.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Use nonempty object property names in field paths. Array indexes and JSONPath syntax aren't supported.	A field path contains unsupported syntax.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Query string literals are limited to 4,000 UTF-8 bytes.	A string operand exceeds the byte limit.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Query numbers must be finite.	A numeric query operand is nonfinite.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Query numbers must be 0 or have an absolute value of at least 1e-130 and less than 1e126.	A nonzero numeric query value has an absolute value below 1e-130 or greater than or equal to 1e126.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Use JSON scalar values for comparisons. Objects and arrays can't be compared directly.	A direct comparison uses a nonscalar value.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	A query predicate must be a JSON object.	A query predicate is not an object.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Query object keys must be strings.	A query object has a nonstring key.
DATA_STORE_INVALID_QUERY	Logical and membership operators require nonempty arrays.	A logical or membership operand is empty or is not an array.
DATA_STORE_TOO_MANY_PARAMETERS	The operation requires too many bound parameters. Simplify the query or reduce the batch size.	The operation requires more than 32,000 bound parameters, including internal parameters.
DATA_STORE_LOCK_TIMEOUT	The operation timed out waiting for a document lock. Try again later.	An update or deletion times out waiting for a document lock and rollback is confirmed.
DATA_STORE_OUTCOME_UNKNOWN	The operation may have been committed. Don't retry automatically.	The operation's outcome can't be determined, and its changes may have been saved.
DATA_STORE_COMMITTED_RESULT_UNAVAILABLE	The operation was committed, but its result couldn't be returned. Don't retry.	The changes were saved, but the operation couldn't return its result.
