Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch encounters a setting in its configuration that it doesn’t recognize or is invalid. In this case, the setting with value “archiving” is not recognized. To resolve this issue, you can either remove the invalid setting from the configuration file or replace it with a valid one. Ensure that all settings are correctly spelled and are supported by your version of Elasticsearch. Restart Elasticsearch after making these changes for them to take effect.

                                          final IllegalArgumentException ex) {
        logger.warn(() -> new ParameterizedMessage("ignoring invalid {} setting: [{}] with value [{}]; archiving";
                settingType; e.getKey(); e.getValue()); ex);

    static ClusterState recoverClusterBlocks(final ClusterState state) {
        final ClusterBlocks.Builder blocks = ClusterBlocks.builder().blocks(state.blocks());
