Hello. I have some question about the captain selection process. (i am very new to splunk its only been 2 months so if these things are obvious answer them regardless if possible also attach the link of the official documentation so i can verify them ) q1.lets say i have a cluster of 5 members & if the captain goes down -- so their are remaining 4 left how can the election run in an even number of member how will the voting happen  in my opinion their will be a random timer and the ones whose timer if finished first ask everyone to vote him and usually they do vote for him. q2.if the election was successful in first case why it is advised to have odd number of members in cluster why cant from beginning i have a cluster of 6 members ? q3.what if the voting done like this in case of 5 member cluster (1 vote to 2 /2 to 3/3 to 4/4 to 5/5to 1)   is it even possible if no then why ?   ...
