I get the following errors in my elasticsearch log:

I searched for an answer regrading those errors, but I cloudn't find any explanation regarding how those errors cause or are connected to each other?

Why a limit exception error would cause non-retryable exception?  
Why non-retryable exception error will cause "no such error"?

Anyway, what might cause the no such index error? I send delete index via curl from time to time, but it usualt doesn't result in such a long error message, but in a much shorter one:

> [2019-03-27T14:40:05,049][INFO][t.b.r.a.ACL] ALLOWED by { name: 'Require HTTP Basic Auth', policy: ALLOW, rules: } req={ ID:453341458-1762348046#5647, TYP:DeleteIndexRequest, CGR:N/A, USR:[no basic auth header], BRS:true, KDX:null, ACT:indices:admin/delete, OA:127.0.0.1, DA:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1, IDX:asdasd, MET:DELETE, PTH:/asdasd, CNT:\<N/A\>, HDR:{User-Agent=curl/7.29.0, content-length=0, Host=localhost:9200, Accept=_/_}, HIS:[Require HTTP Basic Auth-\>] }

If there is someone who can shed some light on this issue I would be very happy...
