An administrator is adding a new member to an existing search head cluster. The new member will need to have access to existing KV Store collections. What must the administrator do to ensure the new member has the collections?

Manually create the collections on the new member using the REST API.

Deploy the app containing the KV Store collection definitions to the new member.

The new member will automatically receive the collections when it joins the cluster.

The KV Store captain will automatically replicate the collections to the new member.

How does KV Store data replication work in a search head cluster?

Only the captain stores data, and other members access it over the network

The KV Store captain replicates data to all other members asynchronously

Each member maintains its own independent KV Store with no synchronization

Data is replicated only during manual synchronization commands

A search head cluster has three members. A KV Store collection is configured with a replication factor of 3. The administrator needs to perform maintenance on one member, which will be offline for several hours. What is the impact on KV Store operations?

All operations are paused until the member is back online.

Writes continue, but reads are paused until the member is back online.

Reads and writes continue normally because the data is replicated on all members.

Reads continue, but writes are paused until the member is back online.

A search head cluster has three members. The KV Store captain fails. What happens to KV Store operations during the failover period?

Writes continue, but reads are temporarily unavailable until a new captain is elected.

All KV Store operations are paused until a new captain is elected.

All operations continue normally because the captain is not required for KV Store operations.

Reads continue from local replicas, but writes are temporarily unavailable until a new captain is elected.
