Hello all
Please clarify some cases for me.
For example, I have a multisite cluster on 2 sites with absolutely similar hardware, except there is a cluster master on site1 and users use both sites of cluster for searching (my SF=RF=1:2). As I can read in documentation, there is a possibility to create a multisite cluster of search heads.
1) What is the reason to do this? What is the best way to use 8 Search heads for clustering (4 SH on each site)? As I found in some docs, to divide them in 4:4 (4 one site and 4 for another) is not good as they can not choose a Captain. Should I create one cluster of SH, 2 clusters or Multisite cluster of SH on 2 sites and implement search affinity? I can not find docs about recommendations.
2) I did not see a Job Server (I need it to create summary indexes) for 6.2, or does one of the SH in cluster acts as Job Server now??
Please share your experience about Search Head clustering.
