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

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

A is definitely true, the primary coordinates with the captain.

I feel like each search head updating its KV store independently sounds wrong, but I can't quite recall the details. Maybe it's option D?

I vaguely recall that there are limits on how many search heads can be in a cluster, but I can't remember if it was 50 or something else.

I think I practiced a question similar to this, and it mentioned that the KV Store Primary coordinates changes. So, I might lean towards A.

I remember something about the KV Store Primary working with the search head captain, but I'm not sure if it's option A or B.

I'm not sure about the 50 search head limit in option C. That seems a bit specific, and I don't recall seeing that in the materials. I'll probably rule that one out and focus on the other options.

Okay, let me think this through. I know that the KV Store Collection has to be managed across the search head cluster, so the coordination between the KV Store Primary and the cluster captain makes sense. I'll go with A.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure if the search head cluster captain is also the KV Store Primary when the collection content changes. I'll need to review that part again.

Option A sounds the most logical to me. The KV Store Primary should be communicating with the search head cluster captain for changes.

Option C is just weird. Why would the number of search heads in the cluster affect the ability to update the KV Store collection? Doesn't make sense to me.

Option D seems a bit off. I'm pretty sure the search heads don't update the KV Store independently. There has to be some coordination.
