Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The bucket is being searched.
Why it's wrong here
Searches typically do not lock buckets in a way that prevents state changes.

Why this is correct
Rolling involves moving or updating the bucket status, requiring a lock.
- ✗
The bucket is being indexed.
Why it's wrong here
Indexing happens in the hot state.

Why it's wrong here
This would be a resource-intensive process but doesn't lock the bucket state.
