What does status=delegated_remote OR status=delegated_remote_completion mean in the scheduler log?

If looking at scheduler log from a single search head in the search head cluster, what does status=delegated_remote OR status=delegated_remote_completion mean? Does it mean that the search that was running to the current search head move to another search peer to run and complete?

This is logged on the captain in scheduler.log when a remote job is delegated to a member and when a remote delegated job is completed on a member.

How do you determine the peer the search was sent to?
I have a 2 peer SH cluster and the captain says status=delegated_remote and we received no alert. Not to mention that the other peer (not captain) is configured to be adhoc searching only. So why did the captain delegate it?

member_label / member_guid / member_uri from the same message. I've seen the captain report that it delegated a search to itself.

How do you have a two peer SHC? At least 3 Search heads are required.

I have not yet seen the scheduler skip a search yet... Wondering how the log looks like when it does skip... Anyone experience this in SHC yet?
