Hi,
Is it possible that multiple indexers (same index) use the same shared NFS directory for colddb?
For example:
indexer1:
indexes.conf
[indexA]
...
coldPath = /NFS/indexA/colddb
...
indexer2:
[indexA]
...
coldPath = /NFS/indexA/colddb
...
OR should it look like:
indexer1:
indexes.conf
[indexA]
...
coldPath = /NFS/indexer1/indexA/colddb
...
indexer2:
[indexA]
...
coldPath = /NFS/indexer2/indexA/colddb
...
thx
We are currently running a setup that is similar to the second option, where each indexer has it's own directory on the NFS share. It is working fine.

The first variant could in theory produce name clashes if both indexers start the same bucket number at the same time and stop it at the same time as well, the name would then be db_endtime_starttime_number
for both and you'd end up overwriting each other.
The second variant should work, along with the usual caveats of decreased performance.
