Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to clean up the resources used by asynchronous search operations due to issues like insufficient permissions, disk space, or network connectivity. To resolve this, you can try the following: 1) Check and increase disk space if it’s running low. 2) Verify the user running Elasticsearch has sufficient permissions. 3) Check network connectivity and firewall settings. 4) Restart the Elasticsearch service. 5) If the issue persists, consider reindexing your data or upgrading Elasticsearch to the latest version.
