Briefly, this error occurs when OpenSearch is unable to install a system call filter due to the unavailability of Java Native Access (JNA). JNA is a library that allows Java applications to access native shared libraries. To resolve this issue, ensure that JNA is correctly installed and accessible by OpenSearch. If it’s not installed, download and install it. If it’s installed but not accessible, check the CLASSPATH environment variable to ensure it includes the path to the JNA library. Also, check the permissions of the JNA library to ensure OpenSearch can access it.
