Briefly, this error occurs when a node in the Elasticsearch cluster fails to join the cluster due to network issues, incorrect configuration, or version incompatibility. To resolve this, ensure all nodes are running the same Elasticsearch version. Check the network connectivity between nodes and verify the cluster name is identical across all nodes. Also, check the Elasticsearch configuration files for any errors. If the problem persists, consider increasing the ‘discovery.zen.ping_timeout’ value to allow more time for nodes to join the cluster.
