Splunk SPLK-2002 Exam - Topic 2 Question 119 Discussion

Posted by Nell on Nov 21, 2025 at 11:38 AM

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

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

Overall, B and D feel most relevant.

C could be a factor, but not sure.

A seems less likely to trigger it.

I agree, B makes sense.

Wow, I didn't know rebalancing was so automatic!

Wait, are you sure about C)? That seems off.

D) definitely happens too, no doubt!
AL

I think C) is also a trigger, right?

A) and B) are correct!
MA

Hmm, I'm not sure about B, but A, C, and D all sound plausible to me.
CH

A and D seem logical, but B is a bit of a stretch. I'll just stick with A and D.
VI
Victor 8 months ago
Haha, "Captain"? What is this, a pirate cluster? I'll go with A, B, and D.
JA
Janessa 8 months ago
C is definitely wrong, since there's no such thing as a "Captain" node in this context. The correct answers are A and B.
BE
Bea 9 months ago
I’m pretty confident that a rolling restart completing doesn’t trigger rebalancing, but I could be wrong about that.
HA
Harrison 9 months ago
I practiced a question like this, and I feel like the captain joining is important, but I can't remember if it causes rebalancing.
RI
Ria 9 months ago
I remember something about the master node, but I can't recall if it triggers rebalancing. Maybe it does?
VE
Veda 9 months ago
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.
KA
Kallie 9 months ago
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.
JO
Johnetta 9 months ago
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.
VE
Veronika 10 months ago
I think primary rebalancing happens when a peer node joins or rejoins the cluster, but I'm not sure about the others.
JU
Juliann 10 months ago
I think the answer is A and D. Rolling restart and peer node joining/rejoining should trigger primary rebalancing.
WI
Winfred 11 months ago
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.
DO
Dolores 11 months ago
Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different scenarios that could trigger primary rebalancing.
