Question 80

What happens to the indexer cluster when the indexer Cluster Master (CM) runs out of disk space?

    Correct Answer: B

    The indexer cluster will continue to operate as long as no indexers fail when the Cluster Master (CM) runs out of disk space. In this scenario, the CM's primary function of managing and coordinating the cluster is hindered, but the indexers themselves can still function normally for a certain period as long as there are no new failures in the cluster. This operation is not indefinite; the situation needs to be addressed promptly, but it is not immediately critical unless an indexer fails.
