Briefly, this error occurs when an attempt to shut down an Elasticsearch cluster fails due to issues with one or more nodes. This could be due to network issues, node unresponsiveness, or a problem with the shutdown command. To resolve this, you can try to identify and fix any network issues, ensure all nodes are responsive, or retry the shutdown command. If the problem persists, you may need to manually shut down each node individually. Always ensure to backup your data to prevent any loss during this process.
