When implementing KV Store Collections in a search head cluster, which of the following considerations is true?

AThe KV Store Primary coordinates with the search head cluster captain when collection content changes.

BThe search head cluster captain is also the KV Store Primary when collection content changes.

CThe KV Store Collection will not allow for changes to content if there are more than 50 search heads in the cluster.

DEach search head in the cluster independently updates its KV store collection when collection content changes.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

According to the Splunk documentation1, in a search head cluster, the KV Store Primary is the same node as the search head cluster captain. The KV Store Primary is responsible for coordinating the replication of KV Store data across the cluster members. When any node receives a write request, the KV Store delegates the write to the KV Store Primary. The KV Store keeps the reads local, however. This ensures that the KV Store data is consistent and available across the cluster.

Hmm, I'm torn between A and B. Seems like there's a lot of coordination happening either way. Maybe the search head cluster captain is just a glorified KV Store Primary?

I agree with Ozell, A) seems like the most logical choice based on how KV Store Collections work.

C is just ridiculous. 50 search heads? That's a lot of heads for one cluster! I think the developers were having a bit too much fun with that one.

I'm going with D. Each search head needs to be able to independently update its KV store collection to maintain reliability and redundancy.

User 2: Yeah, each search head should be able to update its KV store collection on its own.

I'm not sure, but I think A) makes more sense because the KV Store Primary should be involved in coordinating changes.

Option B seems the most logical choice, as the search head cluster captain would likely coordinate the KV Store Primary to ensure consistency across the cluster.
