A Mule application is deployed to a cluster of two (2) customer-hosted Mule runtimes. Currently, the node named Alice is the primary node and the node named
Bob is the secondary node. The Mule application has a flow that polls a directory on a file system for new files.
The primary node Alice fails for an hour and then is restarted.
After the Alice node completely restarts, from what node are the files polled, and what node is now the primary node for the cluster?
When the primary node (Alice) fails, the secondary node (Bob) takes over the polling of the directory as well as the role of the primary node to ensure continuity. When the Alice node restarts, Bob continues to be the primary node, and the files are polled from Bob.
A. Files are polled from the Bob node Bob is now the primary node
If the failed node was the primary, than one of the remaining nodes is elected as the primary node to continue managing HA.
A is correct according to official practice exam
