Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to locate the Hadoop home directory, which is required for HdfsFixture. This is usually due to the HADOOP_HOME environment variable not being set, or the HADOOP_HOME/bin not being included in the system PATH. To resolve this issue, you can set the HADOOP_HOME environment variable to the location of your Hadoop installation and add the HADOOP_HOME/bin directory to your system PATH. Alternatively, you can specify the Hadoop home directory directly in your Elasticsearch configuration.
