SPLK-1001 Practice Question: Which TWO are benefits of using data model…
Which TWO are benefits of using data model acceleration? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Splunk often tests the misconception that acceleration compresses data or reduces disk usage, but in reality it trades disk space for query speed by storing redundant summary data.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Reduced time to run complex aggregations and statistical searches.
Data model acceleration pre-computes and stores aggregated data in the form of summaries (`.tsidx` files), which drastically reduces the time needed to run complex statistical and aggregation searches like `stats`, `timechart`, or `top`. Instead of scanning raw events, Splunk queries these pre-built summaries, enabling sub-second response times for large datasets.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Reduced time to run complex aggregations and statistical searches.
Why this is correct
Acceleration avoids scanning all raw data.
- ✓
Faster search performance on large datasets.
Why this is correct
Pre-computed summaries speed up queries.
- ✗
Reduced disk space usage by compressing indexed data.
Why it's wrong here
Acceleration uses additional disk space for summaries.
- ✗
Eliminates the need for data indexing by using summary data.
Why it's wrong here
Acceleration requires indexed data to build summaries.
- ✗
Simplified data model design by automatically optimizing relationships.
Why it's wrong here
Acceleration does not affect data model design.
