Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to send a request to a node that is no longer part of the cluster, often due to network issues or node failure. To resolve this, you can try restarting the failed node or the entire cluster. If the problem persists, check your network configuration and ensure that all nodes are properly connected. Additionally, you may need to update your cluster settings to remove the failed node or increase the timeout settings to allow for slower network connections.
