Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to fetch user details from its database. This could be due to incorrect user credentials, network issues, or problems with the user database. To resolve this, you can verify the user credentials, check the network connection, or inspect the user database for any inconsistencies or corruption. If the problem persists, consider restarting the Elasticsearch service or, in extreme cases, restoring the user database from a backup.
