Start High Availability And Distributed Search PracticeWhen migrating to a Search Head Cluster, what happens to existing saved searches that were defined in local/savedsearches.conf on a standalone search head?
Explanation: These need to be manually migrated into the 'shcluster' application directory to be recognized by the new cluster.
In an Indexer Cluster, what is the primary role of the Cluster Master (CM) regarding bucket management?
Explanation: The CM assigns bucket IDs and manages bucket replication/searchability across peers, but it does not store the raw indexed data itself.
If an Indexer Cluster has a replication_factor of 3 and search_factor of 2, how many searchable copies of a bucket are maintained across the cluster?
Explanation: The search factor determines how many copies of a bucket are searchable. If search_factor is 2, the cluster ensures at least two copies are available for searching.
A customer is experiencing 'Search peer [peer-name] is not responding' errors during indexer maintenance. Which configuration parameter in server.conf should be tuned to prevent search failures during rolling restarts?
Explanation: The 'restart_timeout' parameter in the [clustering] stanza controls how long a search head waits for a peer to return before marking it as down during a rolling restart.
Which component in a distributed search environment is responsible for the 'Search Affinity' feature?
Explanation: Search affinity allows a Search Head to prefer indexers within the same site, reducing cross-site bandwidth usage.
