Briefly, this error message typically indicates that Elasticsearch is unable to determine the version of a node in a cluster. This could be due to network connectivity issues, incorrect configuration, or other environmental factors. To resolve this issue, ensure that the nodes are properly configured and reachable from one another and that the cluster is functioning correctly. Additionally, it may be necessary to restart Elasticsearch or perform other troubleshooting steps to diagnose and correct the underlying cause of the issue.
