Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is trying to parse a group of users from a file and encounters an issue. This could be due to incorrect file format, syntax errors, or permissions issues. To resolve this, ensure the file is in the correct format (usually JSON or YAML), check for syntax errors in the file, and verify that Elasticsearch has the necessary permissions to read the file. Additionally, ensure that the file is located in the correct directory where Elasticsearch expects to find it.

Log Context
Log “parsed [{}] group(s) with a total of [{}] operator user(s) from file [{}]” classname is FileOperatorUsersStore.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
return EMPTY_OPERATOR_USERS_DESCRIPTOR;
} else {
logger.debug("Reading operator users file [{}]"; file.toAbsolutePath());
try (InputStream in = Files.newInputStream(file; StandardOpenOption.READ)) {
final OperatorUsersDescriptor operatorUsersDescriptor = parseConfig(in);
logger.info("parsed [{}] group(s) with a total of [{}] operator user(s) from file [{}]";
operatorUsersDescriptor.groups.size();
operatorUsersDescriptor.groups.stream().mapToLong(g -> g.usernames.size()).sum();
file.toAbsolutePath());
logger.debug("operator user descriptor: [{}]"; operatorUsersDescriptor);
return operatorUsersDescriptor;
