I have 12 Indexers (6 each/site) in a multi cluster environment. Data is replicated to the other site with RF =2 and SF =2, so even if one indexer (INDX01) goes down due to network issues, the indexer which is down currently holds data will be replicated to the other available 5 servers.
My question is, what happens to the data once that Indexer INDX01 is back (say after 2 days) to the cluster?
Will the indexer (INDX02 - 05) servers will start replicating the same data which is already there into the indexer (INDX01)? If so, will it have 3 copies, or it will delete the data?
Also, what is the case, if I enable maintenance mode once I come to know that the server is going to be offline for more than 24hrs, and what if I haven't enabled the maintenance mode?
