cold path not exis

[hazem]

hello all,

we have multi-site cluster master and  we do not want a cold mount in the DR indexers.

is it applicable?

If  indexer  hits hot/warm retention and not found the cold path will delete the data  ?

The coldPath setting must be defined and the location must exist.  It's not possible (and not advised to try) to have a different configuration for the "DR" indexers.

To avoid using the cold path, create a script that deletes buckets and define it as the warmToColdScript for the index(es).   You also could assign the coldPath to a volume and make that volume large enough for a single bucket so cold buckets are frozen almost immediately.
