Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to update an existing shutdown record with a new one. This usually happens when a node is being shut down while it’s still processing requests. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1) Ensure that all requests are completed before shutting down a node. 2) Check the cluster health and make sure all nodes are functioning properly before initiating a shutdown. 3) If the error persists, consider increasing the timeout period to allow more time for requests to complete before shutdown.
