Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch encounters issues while trying to forcefully stop a process or service. This could be due to insufficient permissions, a locked resource, or a process that is not responding. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1) Ensure that the user running Elasticsearch has sufficient permissions to stop the service. 2) Check for any locked resources or files and unlock them. 3) Identify any unresponsive processes and manually terminate them. 4) If all else fails, consider restarting the server to clear any stuck processes.
