Hi All,
I have 4 Indexer Servers, 2 per each Site. Site1 has 2 and Site2 has 2 servers in each. All these 4 servers are in clustering and I have a Master Node to monitor these 4 Indexer peers. Site based clustering is implemented so in any case if any site is down, I can still be able to get the data from the other site.
Now my problem here, I have an index called "my_index", and I need to clean this index on a regular basis without impacting the business.
So I have written a script to each one indexer by other and clean the eventdata of "my_index" and restarted them. By doing so, once the indexer is restarted again, it's getting "my_index" data back, since the replication factor is given as 4 and its getting the data again.
I cannot afford to stop all the 4 indexers at once and clean the eventdata as this will impact the customer till the indexers are up and running. Can you please suggest if there is any SMART WAY of cleaning the indexes on a regular basis without impacting customers?
Thanks,
Rakesh.
