Briefly, this error occurs when the Elasticsearch REST request URI has been tampered with or modified in an incorrect way. This could be due to a malformed URI, incorrect syntax, or unauthorized changes. To resolve this issue, you can: 1) Verify the URI syntax and structure, ensuring it follows the correct format. 2) Check for any unauthorized or unexpected changes in the URI. 3) If the error persists, consider resetting the URI to its default or last known good configuration.
