Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to close a snapshot in the repository due to issues like insufficient permissions, network connectivity problems, or the repository being in a read-only state. To resolve this, you can check and adjust the repository permissions, ensure the network connection is stable, or change the repository state to read-write. Additionally, verify the snapshot’s integrity and existence in the repository. If the snapshot is corrupted or doesn’t exist, you may need to delete it and create a new one.
