Checksum failed (hardware problem?)

There's some information about this in the manual:

TLDR the exception means that the data Elasticsearch read from storage is not the data that it originally wrote there. ES has no practical way of determining why it might be so.

Note the following paragraph from the docs I linked:

Data corruption typically doesn’t result in other evidence of problems apart from the checksum mismatch. Do not interpret this as an indication that your storage subsystem is working correctly and therefore that Elasticsearch itself caused the corruption. It is rare for faulty storage to show any evidence of problems apart from the data corruption, but data corruption itself is a very strong indicator that your storage subsystem is not working correctly.
