Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to start a data transformation within the specified timeout period. This could be due to heavy load, insufficient resources, or network issues. To resolve this, you could increase the timeout value, ensure that the cluster has sufficient resources (CPU, memory, disk space), or check for network connectivity issues. Additionally, optimizing your data model or reducing the size of the transformation could also help.
