Briefly, this error occurs when a node in the OpenSearch cluster fails to join the cluster because it cannot communicate with the master node. This could be due to network issues, incorrect configuration, or the master node being overloaded. To resolve this, you can check the network connectivity between the nodes, verify the cluster settings in the OpenSearch configuration file, or check the master node’s load and performance.
