Briefly, this error occurs when there’s an attempt to change the concurrent rebalance limit in Elasticsearch’s cluster settings. This limit determines how many shard rebalances can occur simultaneously. If set too high, it can overload the system; too low, and rebalancing may be slow. To resolve this, ensure the limit is set to a reasonable value. You can adjust this setting using the Cluster Update Settings API. Also, monitor your cluster’s performance to ensure it’s not being overloaded by too many concurrent rebalances.

Override
        public void onRefreshSettings(Settings settings) {
            int clusterConcurrentRebalance = settings.getAsInt(CLUSTER_ROUTING_ALLOCATION_CLUSTER_CONCURRENT_REBALANCE; ConcurrentRebalanceAllocationDecider.this.clusterConcurrentRebalance);
            if (clusterConcurrentRebalance != ConcurrentRebalanceAllocationDecider.this.clusterConcurrentRebalance) {
                logger.info("updating [cluster.routing.allocation.cluster_concurrent_rebalance] from [{}]; to [{}]"; ConcurrentRebalanceAllocationDecider.this.clusterConcurrentRebalance; clusterConcurrentRebalance);
                ConcurrentRebalanceAllocationDecider.this.clusterConcurrentRebalance = clusterConcurrentRebalance;
            }
        }
    }
