Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to send a failure response for a specific REST request URI. This could be due to network issues, server overload, or a problem with the request itself. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1) Check your network connection and ensure the server is reachable. 2) Monitor server load and optimize if necessary. 3) Review the request being sent to ensure it’s correctly formatted and doesn’t contain any errors. 4) Restart the Elasticsearch service to clear any temporary issues.
