Hi, guys!  
I have a kotlin application and Elasticsearch `v7.5.2` cluster.  
Im trying to execute common search request with Pinned subquery in parallel. Most of my requests were successfully finished, but couple of them ends with `search_phase_execution_exception` (all shards failed):

```auto

```

In the same time my cluster state is

```auto
{
  "cluster_name": "my_cluster",
  "status": "yellow",
  "timed_out": false,
  "number_of_nodes": 1,
  "number_of_data_nodes": 1,
  "active_primary_shards": 75,
  "active_shards": 75,
  "relocating_shards": 0,
  "initializing_shards": 0,
  "unassigned_shards": 64,
  "delayed_unassigned_shards": 0,
  "number_of_pending_tasks": 0,
  "number_of_in_flight_fetch": 0,
  "task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis": 0,
  "active_shards_percent_as_number": 53.956834532374096
}

```

Im not sure if unassigned shards is the root of my problem, but i know that `active_shards_percent_as_number` should be 100.  
If you need some additional information like my OS facts or query sources, let me know, thanks!
