Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to re-establish a connection to a node that was previously connected. This could be due to network issues, the node being down, or configuration problems. To resolve this issue, you can check the network connectivity between the nodes, ensure the node is up and running, and verify the cluster settings and node configurations. If the problem persists, consider restarting the Elasticsearch service or the entire node.
