We have a 3 node Elastic deployment on Kubernetes.  
We encountered the following error in elastic Logs :  
elasticsearch.node.id":"LMHIgOg6RrWkCRWFY5QyZQ","elasticsearch.node.name":"elasticsearch-0.es-service","elasticsearch.cluster.name":"docker-cluster","error.type":"java.lang.IllegalStateException","error.message":"environment is not locked","error.stack\_trace":"java.lang.IllegalStateException: environment is not locked .

Can you help in identifying the exact cause of the issue ? Is it something related with the memory being utilized by elastic ? or any other issue ?

I think that's not the whole log message, and the bits you have elided are the bits that identify the exact cause of the issue.
