Briefly, this error occurs when a node in the Elasticsearch cluster fails to rejoin the cluster after a network partition or a temporary disconnection. This could be due to network issues, high load on the cluster, or configuration problems. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1) Check and fix any network connectivity issues. 2) Reduce the load on the cluster by optimizing your queries or adding more nodes. 3) Check the cluster settings and ensure that the ‘discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes’ is set correctly. 4) Restart the node that failed to rejoin.
