Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch receives a request to cancel an ongoing data transformation process. This could be due to a manual cancellation request or an automatic cancellation due to system constraints. To resolve this issue, you can either wait for the cancellation process to complete or check if there are any system constraints causing the cancellation. If it’s the latter, you may need to optimize your system resources or adjust the configuration settings of your Elasticsearch cluster to prevent automatic cancellations.
