Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to execute a failure callback on a delegate, possibly due to a network issue, a node failure, or a problem with the delegate itself. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1) Check the network connection and ensure all nodes are properly connected. 2) Inspect the health of your nodes and restart any that are failing. 3) Review the delegate’s code for any errors or issues that might prevent the callback from executing.
