How to architect in case where there are independent indexer clusters?

Hi Guru!

I have a question about clustering architecture.

Let's say there are independent 5 idx cluster sites, who have run their own idx cluster: site 1 runs idx1 cluster where there are 5 peer members, site 2 runs idx 2 cluster where there are 5 peer members, and so on.

Then, the customer wants to build central site 6 where search head should be able to search from site 1 idx cluster, site 2 idx cluster, site 3 idx cluster, site 4 idx cluster, and site 5 idx cluster.

Is it possible architecture? where should the cluster master of site 6 be located? If the cluster master of site 6 is not necessary, then who should be cluster master among idx cluster site 1,2,3,4 and 5?

You can add your SH to any Cluster Master to gain visibility into its Indexers
scales horizontally just fine
