Before you begin reading this guide, we recommend you run Elasticsearch Error Check-Up which analyzes 2 JSON files to detect many errors.

To easily locate the root cause and resolve this issue try AutoOps for Elasticsearch & OpenSearch. It diagnoses problems by analyzing hundreds of metrics collected by a lightweight agent and offers guidance for resolving them.

This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” Unknown response type ; expected NodeStoreFilesMetaData or FailedNodeException ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: indices, node, response and shard.

Log Context

Log “unknown response type [{}]; expected NodeStoreFilesMetaData or FailedNodeException” classname is TransportNodesListShardStoreMetaData.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

             if (resp instanceof NodeStoreFilesMetaData) { // will also filter out null response for unallocated ones
                nodeStoreFilesMetaDatas.add((NodeStoreFilesMetaData) resp);
            } else if (resp instanceof FailedNodeException) {
                failures.add((FailedNodeException) resp);
            } else {
                logger.warn("unknown response type [{}]; expected NodeStoreFilesMetaData or FailedNodeException"; resp);
            }
        }
        return new NodesStoreFilesMetaData(clusterName; nodeStoreFilesMetaDatas.toArray(new NodeStoreFilesMetaData[nodeStoreFilesMetaDatas.size()]);
                failures.toArray(new FailedNodeException[failures.size()]));
    }
