Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to send a failure response for a specific Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) request. This could be due to network issues, server overload, or a problem with the request itself. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1) Check your network connection and ensure the server is properly functioning. 2) Review the request sent to Elasticsearch to ensure it’s correctly formatted. 3) Monitor the server’s load and consider scaling up if it’s consistently high. 4) Check the Elasticsearch logs for more detailed error information.
