I thought it was A at first, but now I'm not so sure.

I agree with Tish, D makes the most sense here.

Wait, does Splunk really only discover numeric fields? That seems off.

Tish 12 months ago

Nah, I’m pretty sure it’s D. Only fields related to search results.

I think it's option B, right? Splunk does alphanumeric.

I thought it was only numeric fields that were automatically discovered, but now I’m questioning if that’s too limiting.

I’m a bit confused about the options. Does Splunk really only discover fields related to the search results, or does it find more than that?

I remember practicing a question about field discovery, and I feel like it mentioned something about automatic discovery being broader than just manually configured fields.

I think Splunk discovers both numeric and alphanumeric fields, but I'm not sure which one it prioritizes.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the requirements carefully to determine the best approach.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with Alibaba Cloud ElasticSearch, so I'll need to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think the key benefit is that it doesn't require a layer 2 loop prevention protocol like RSTP.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Can the join condition fields be part of the index cache, the data cache, or both? That could make a difference in how I approach this.
