we recently changed aws access keys , before it was working fine .  
after changing my keys , i followed this steps to update keys .  
sudo bin/elasticsearch-keystore remove s3.client.default.access\_key

sudo bin/elasticsearch-keystore remove s3.client.default.secret\_key

sudo bin/elasticsearch-keystore create

sudo bin/elasticsearch-keystore add s3.client.default.access\_key

sudo bin/elasticsearch-keystore add s3.client.default.secret\_key

by using above commands i updated my keys , after that i am getting error as

org.elasticsearch.repositories.RepositoryException: [s3\_repository] could not read repository data from index blob

org.elasticsearch.common.io.stream.NotSerializableExceptionWrapper: amazon\_s3\_exception: The AWS Access Key Id you provided does not exist in our records. (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 403; Error Code: InvalidAccessKeyId

Have you done this on all your nodes? Have you restarted Elasticsearch on all your nodes or reloaded secure settings?
