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 peers will continue to index incoming data normally
Why this is correct
Maintenance mode only impacts bucket replication, not ingestion.
✓
The Master will not alert on any missing buckets
Why this is correct
The master assumes the missing data is due to the planned maintenance.
✗
The Master will force a bucket re-balance immediately
Why it's wrong here
Maintenance mode specifically prevents re-balancing tasks.
✗
All searches will be automatically disabled
Why it's wrong here
Searches still function, though some may return partial results if data is unavailable.
✓
The Cluster Master will not perform bucket fix-up activities
Why this is correct
This is the primary function of maintenance mode.
