What are the options for synchronizing namespace tsidx files in a search head cluster?

[responsys_cm]

One option is obviously to use shared storage. That's a least desirable option.

If I schedule the search to run tscollect, it will be run on a random search head in the cluster, right?

So another option would be to save the search to all cluster members and then use a cron job on each one to run the search and generate the namespace's tsidx files...?

Is there any other cleaner way to do this?
