Briefly, this error occurs when there’s an attempt to register a repository in Elasticsearch that already exists. This could be due to a configuration issue or a script running multiple times. To resolve this, you can either delete the existing repository using the DELETE repository API before re-registering it, or check your scripts and configurations to ensure they’re not attempting to register the same repository multiple times. Also, ensure that the repository name is unique each time you’re creating a new one.

        });

                "internal repository [{}][{}]."; name; repository.getMetadata().type(); name; type));
        } else if (repositories.containsKey(name)) {
            logger.warn(new ParameterizedMessage("non-internal repository [{}] already registered. this repository will block the " +
                "usage of internal repository [{}][{}]."; name; metadata.type(); name));
