Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to access certain files while performing a listing operation. This could be due to insufficient permissions, a network issue, or the files being moved or deleted. To resolve this issue, you can check and adjust the file permissions, ensure the network connection is stable, and verify the files’ existence and location. If the files were moved or deleted, restore them or update the path in Elasticsearch configuration.
