Splunk SPLK-2002 Exam - Topic 2 Question 119 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-2002 exam
Question #: 119
Topic #: 2
[All SPLK-2002 Questions]

To optimize the distribution of primary buckets; when does primary rebalancing automatically occur? (Select all that apply.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B, D

Primary rebalancing automatically occurs when a rolling restart completes, a master node rejoins the cluster, or a peer node joins or rejoins the cluster. These events can cause the distribution of primary buckets to become unbalanced, so the master node will initiate a rebalancing process to ensure that each peer node has roughly the same number of primary buckets. Primary rebalancing does not occur when a captain joins or rejoins the cluster, because the captain is a search head cluster component, not an indexer cluster component.The captain is responsible for search head clustering, not indexer clustering

I think C) is also a trigger, right?

A and D seem logical, but B is a bit of a stretch. I'll just stick with A and D.

Haha, "Captain"? What is this, a pirate cluster? I'll go with A, B, and D.

C is definitely wrong, since there's no such thing as a "Captain" node in this context. The correct answers are A and B.

I’m pretty confident that a rolling restart completing doesn’t trigger rebalancing, but I could be wrong about that.

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like the captain joining is important, but I can't remember if it causes rebalancing.

I remember something about the master node, but I can't recall if it triggers rebalancing. Maybe it does?

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I remember learning about primary rebalancing in class, and I think I have a good handle on the key triggers.

Alright, I've got a strategy. I'll go through each option and think about how it could impact the primary bucket distribution. That should help me identify the correct answers.

I'm a bit confused by the terminology here. What exactly is a "primary bucket" and how does rebalancing work? I'll need to review my notes on that.

I think primary rebalancing happens when a peer node joins or rejoins the cluster, but I'm not sure about the others.

I think the answer is A and D. Rolling restart and peer node joining/rejoining should trigger primary rebalancing.

Okay, let's see. I know primary rebalancing is related to the distribution of buckets, so I'll need to focus on the events that could affect that.
