A company is configuring a multi-site indexer cluster with two sites. They have 5 peers in Site A and 5 peers in Site B. They set RF=4 and SRF=2. The cluster master is in Site A. A new bucket is indexed on a peer in Site A. How does the cluster master decide which peers receive copies?

It selects peers in Site B only, to ensure the DR site has the most copies.

It selects peers based on available disk space and network latency, while ensuring at least 2 copies in each site.

It selects peers randomly across both sites.

It selects peers in Site A only, since the bucket was indexed there.

A multinational corporation runs a multi-site indexer cluster with sites in Frankfurt and Singapore. A peer node in Frankfurt experiences a hardware failure and goes offline. The cluster master detects the failure. What is the immediate action the cluster master takes to maintain data availability?

It waits for the peer to come back online before taking any action.

It immediately rebalances all buckets across the cluster to redistribute the load.

It promotes an existing copy of the failed peer's buckets on another peer, prioritizing copies in the same site to maintain search affinity.

It promotes a copy of the failed peer's buckets from Singapore to Frankfurt.
