Indexers Cluster and Smartstore S3 buckets configuration

When one configures the indexer cluster for SmartStore, does each indexer get its own S3 bucket?  Or is there just one very large S3 bucket and all indexers write into the same S3 bucket (separated by indexer GUID or something like that)?

Hi @dokaas_2,

On SmartStore architecture, all indexers use the same S3 bucket. Cluster Manager manages which indexer to write and ensures only one copy of the index bucket is written. If any other indexer needs to search that bucket it can download from S3.
