Database file ” + databaseFile + ” doesn’t exist – How to solve this Elasticsearch error

Log Context

Log “database file [” + databaseFile + “] doesn’t exist”classname  is GeoIpProcessor.java We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

CheckedSupplier supplier = () -> {
 DatabaseReaderLazyLoader loader = databaseNodeService.getDatabase(databaseFile);
 if (useDatabaseUnavailableProcessor(loader; databaseFile)) {
 return null;
 } else if (loader == null) {
 throw new ResourceNotFoundException("database file [" + databaseFile + "] doesn't exist");
 }
 // Only check whether the suffix has changed and not the entire database type.
 // To sanity check whether a city db isn't overwriting with a country or asn db.
 // For example overwriting a geoip lite city db with geoip city db is a valid change; but the db type is slightly different;
 // by checking just the suffix this assertion doesn't fail.
