Briefly, this error occurs when OpenSearch detects a corruption in a remote file on a specific node during a recovery process. The local checksum, however, is fine. This could be due to network issues, disk errors, or bugs. To resolve this, you can try to restart the node, check the network connection, or inspect the disk for any errors. If the problem persists, consider reindexing the data. It’s also important to ensure that your OpenSearch version is up-to-date to avoid any known bugs.
