NEW QUESTION # 45
A new single-site three indexer cluster is being stood up with replication_factor:2, search_factor:2. At which step would the Indexer Cluster be classed as 'Indexing Ready' and be able to ingest new data?
Step 1: Install and configure Cluster Master (CM)/Master Node with base clustering stanza settings, restarting CM.
