Briefly, this error occurs when a request to allocate data frame analytics memory is made on a non-master node in Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch requires such operations to be performed on the master node. To resolve this issue, you can either redirect the request to the master node or configure your cluster to allow non-master nodes to handle such requests. However, the latter option may affect the performance and stability of your cluster, so it’s generally recommended to perform these operations on the master node.
