As I said [in the other thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/java-io-streamcorruptedexception-invalid-internal-transport-message-format-got-16-3-3-0/257679/15) you should look to use cross-cluster search instead as tribe nodes are being deprecated. Elasticsearch 6.8 is likely to be out of support soon as Elasticsearch 8 is approaching and setting up tribe nodes will as far as I know make it impossible to upgrade without switching to cross-cluster search.
