Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch struggles to schedule a data transformation task due to resource constraints or configuration issues. To resolve this, you can try increasing the system resources (CPU, memory), adjusting the transform frequency, or checking for any conflicting tasks that might be blocking the transform. Also, ensure that the Elasticsearch cluster is properly configured and running smoothly. If the problem persists, consider breaking down the transformation into smaller tasks.
