In a four site indexer cluster, what configuration stores a total of four searchable copies with two at the origin site and one at site2?

  1. site_search_factor = origin:2, site1:2, total:4

  2. site_search_factor = origin:2, site2:1, total:4

  3. site_replication_factor = origin:2, site1:2, total:4

  4. site_replication_factor = origin:2, site2:1, total:4

The correct answer is: site_search_factor = origin:2, site2:1, total:4

The configuration that ensures a total of four searchable copies with two at the origin site and one at site2 is achieved through the site search factor setting. Setting "site_search_factor = origin:2, site2:1, total:4" defines the number of searchable copies for each site, specifying that two copies of the data will reside in the origin site and one will be in site2, which sums up to a total of four copies. This configuration is essential in ensuring data availability and search capability across the clustered environment. The site search factor is crucial for distributing the searchable data across multiple sites to allow users to perform searches even in case of site or node failures. The other configurations provided do not accurately represent the requirements for achieving four total searchable copies across the specified sites with the correct distribution, thus making them unsuitable for this scenario.
