Briefly, this error occurs when an Elasticsearch command is missing the ‘from_node’ parameter. This parameter is required to specify the source node from which data is to be transferred. To resolve this issue, you can either add the ‘from_node’ parameter to your command or check your command syntax to ensure it’s correct. Also, ensure that the node you’re referring to exists and is accessible. Lastly, check your Elasticsearch version, as different versions may require different command syntax.
