Describe what happens when an adhoc search is issued on a search head in a distributed environment?

Does the search head communicate with the cluster master or directly with the indexers? Im looking for clarifications.

@venkatasri  thank you for the response, however,  I was just wondering what will happen if the cluster master goes down, will the SH be able to return results of an adhoc search?

@alexlexxy  SH does communicate with cluster master before finding out which peers to fetch results.
