Briefly, this error occurs when OpenSearch is unable to replicate a segment, which is a part of an index, across the nodes in a cluster. This could be due to network issues, insufficient disk space, or a faulty node. To resolve this, you can check the network connectivity between nodes, ensure there’s enough disk space, and verify the health of all nodes. If a specific node is consistently causing issues, consider removing and re-adding it to the cluster. Also, check the OpenSearch logs for more detailed error information.
