Briefly, this error occurs when the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) provided in the Elasticsearch request is not correctly formatted or contains invalid characters. To resolve this issue, you should first verify the URI syntax. Ensure that it adheres to the standard format: scheme:[//[user:password@]host[:port]][/]path[?query][#fragment].
