Indexer Clustering • Room 1

Cluster Architecture

An Indexer Cluster consists of a Cluster Manager (formerly Master Node), and multiple Peer Nodes (indexers). The Cluster Manager coordinates replication but does NOT index data itself.

The Replication Factor (RF) defines how many copies of raw data exist. The Search Factor (SF) defines how many copies are searchable (have .tsidx files). RF >= SF always.
