Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to connect to a URL with a protocol that it doesn’t recognize. This could be due to a typo in the protocol name or using a protocol that isn’t supported. To resolve this issue, you should first check the URL for any typos or incorrect protocol names. If the protocol is correct, ensure that it is one that Elasticsearch supports. If it’s not supported, you may need to install additional libraries or plugins to add support for that protocol.

 for (String supportedProtocol : supportedProtocols) {
