   What does the cluster do with the data that was on a failed peer?

   • AIt is left as is until the peer comes back online.
   • BIt is automatically rebalanced to the remaining peers to maintain replication factor.
   • CIt is permanently lost and must be restored from backup.
   • DIt is moved to the master for temporary storage.

   A Splunk indexer cluster master fails and is restored from a backup. The backup is from 2 hours ago. What is the most likely impact on the cluster after the master is restored?

   • AThe cluster will be in a degraded state until the master rebalances all buckets.
   • BThe master will need to re-sync with peers to learn about buckets created during the downtime.
   • CThe master will automatically delete any buckets created during the downtime to maintain consistency.
   • DThe master will restart all peers to ensure they have the correct configuration.

   When a peer fails in an indexer cluster, what is the first step the cluster takes to recover?

   • AIt immediately restarts the failed peer.
   • BIt marks the peer as down and begins replicating its buckets to other peers.
   • CIt deletes the failed peer's buckets to free up space.
   • DIt promotes a search head to act as a peer.

   Which of the following is a common failure mode in an indexer cluster?

   • AThe search factor is increased to match the replication factor.
   • BA peer's disk fills up, but the cluster continues to operate normally without any impact.
   • CThe master automatically restarts all peers when a search fails.
   • DA peer becomes unavailable, causing the cluster to have fewer peers than the replication factor requires.
