   How does the cluster master handle a site failure in a multi-site cluster?

   • AIt promotes copies in other sites to maintain search availability and rebalances when the site recovers.
   • BIt deletes all data from the failed site to prevent inconsistency.
   • CIt immediately shuts down all searches until the site recovers.
   • DIt requires manual intervention to promote copies.

   How does the cluster master use peer node site assignments in a multi-site cluster?

   • ATo determine the order in which peer nodes are upgraded.
   • BTo determine where to place bucket copies to meet site replication and search factors.
   • CTo determine which peer nodes receive configuration updates.
   • DTo determine which peer nodes can be searched by which search heads.

   A multi-site indexer cluster has two sites: Site A and Site B. The cluster is configured with RF=3, SRF=2, SF=2, and SSF=2. A network misconfiguration causes Site B to be temporarily unreachable from Site A, but the cluster master (in Site A) can still reach Site B. During this partition, a new bucket is indexed on a peer in Site A. What happens to this bucket?

   • AThe bucket is stored only in Site A until the partition heals, then replicated to Site B.
   • BThe bucket is replicated to Site B via the cluster master as a relay.
   • CThe bucket is replicated to Site B immediately because the master can reach it.
   • DThe bucket is dropped because it cannot meet SRF=2.

   A multi-site indexer cluster has two sites: Site A and Site B. The cluster is configured with RF=3, SRF=2, SF=2, and SSF=2. Site A fails completely. The cluster master (in Site C) promotes copies in Site B to maintain RF and SRF. After promotion, the cluster has 3 copies of a bucket, all in Site B. What is the state of the cluster regarding SRF?

   • ASRF is satisfied because the master is in Site C.
   • BSRF is temporarily violated because Site A has 0 copies.
   • CSRF is automatically adjusted to 0 for Site A.
   • DSRF is satisfied because Site B has 3 copies.

   A company is setting up a multi-site indexer cluster with two sites. They have 6 peer nodes: 3 in Site A and 3 in Site B. They configure RF=3 and SRF=2. How does the cluster master determine where to place the copies of a new bucket?

   • AIt places copies randomly across all peers, regardless of site.
   • BIt places 2 copies in the originating site and 1 copy in the other site.
   • CIt places all copies in the site where the bucket was originally indexed.
   • DIt places at least 2 copies in the originating site and at least 2 copies in the other site.
