Answer choices

Why each option matters

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The Cluster Master status shows the peer as 'Ready'

Replication relies on the network port, bucket state, and the cluster master's view of the peer.

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 'maxHotBuckets' setting in indexes.conf
Why it's wrong here
This affects indexing throughput, not replication.
✓
The Cluster Master status shows the peer as 'Ready'
Why this is correct
If the peer is not 'Ready', the master will not assign replication tasks to it.
✗
The Deployment Server connection status
Why it's wrong here
Deployment server handles apps, not bucket replication.
✓
The replication port is open and reachable on all peers
Why this is correct
Replication traffic requires the port to be open between peers.
✓
The bucket status is not 'streaming'
Why this is correct
Buckets stuck in 'streaming' state are actively failing to replicate.
