In a Splunk search, why is it generally recommended to place streaming commands before transforming commands?

To allow the transforming command to run on the indexers.

To ensure that the transforming command receives all events.

To reduce the amount of data processed by the transforming command, improving performance.

To avoid using the search head for any processing.

A search includes the following command sequence: `... | rex field=_raw "user=(? \w+)" | where user="admin" | stats count`. Which statement about this sequence is true?

The `stats` command is streaming because it processes events one at a time.

The `rex` command is transforming because it extracts fields, and `where` is streaming.

The `where` command must run on the search head because it filters events.

The `rex` and `where` commands are streaming and process events one at a time, so they can run on indexers before the `stats` command.

Which characteristic is true of a streaming command?

It requires all events to be loaded into memory before processing.

It can only be used at the end of a search.

It reduces the number of events in the result set.

It processes events one at a time without changing the number of events.
