Dear All,
We have a cluster environment where we have 7 search heads and 5 indexers and just i was reading and got a doubt that in my 5 indexers do i need to have:
1)RF (replication factor) =5. Replication is for the data availability but do we need 5 systems to have the data ? It will impact the performance of the system right as we are replicating the data in 5 different systems?
2) Now lets say we make it to RF=3 now but going forward we have to use 5 indexers and make RF=5 so if we make it 3 now and later make it 5 how the data and buckets will get impacted?
3) How to use Search Factor correctly?
As our application is huge and now we are having 50 GB data per day but going forward it will increase and reach 1 TB or more par day.
So wants to understand the process of how to get it work
Regards,
Santosh
