Briefly, this error occurs when a listener in Elasticsearch, specifically the OnFreeContext listener, encounters an issue during its operation. This could be due to a variety of reasons such as a bug in the code, a problem with the data, or a system resource issue. To resolve this issue, you could try debugging the code to identify any potential bugs, check the data for any inconsistencies or errors, or monitor the system resources to ensure they are not being overutilized. Additionally, ensure that your Elasticsearch version is up-to-date as this could also be a factor.

            for (SearchOperationListener listener : listeners) {
                try {
                    listener.onFreeReaderContext(readerContext);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    logger.warn(() -> new ParameterizedMessage("onFreeContext listener [{}] failed"; listener); e);
                }
            }
        }

        @Override
