In a multisite indexer cluster, what is the default behavior when a search head runs a search that requires data from buckets that are not local to its site?

The search head sends the search to the cluster master, which runs it on all peers.

The search head fails the search because remote data is not accessible.

The search head only searches data from its own site and ignores remote data.

The search head retrieves the data from remote sites over the network and includes it in the search.

How does the cluster master in a multisite indexer cluster determine which site a peer node belongs to?

By the site value in the peer's server.conf file

By the physical location of the peer's hardware

What is a primary reason to configure a site replication factor greater than 1 in a multisite indexer cluster?

To reduce the storage footprint of the cluster

To improve search performance by having more copies to search

To ensure data availability if an entire site becomes unavailable

To allow the cluster master to be located in any site

What is the purpose of having a searchable copy of a bucket in each site?

To allow the cluster master to fail over to another site

To allow searches to run locally within each site, reducing network traffic and improving performance

To ensure that each site has an exact copy of all data for backup purposes

To reduce the total storage required across the cluster
