primacy

primacy

noun

The state of a bucket copy in an indexer cluster that determines whether the copy participates in searches.

The primacy states are primary and non-primary. Only primary bucket copies participate in searches.

A single-site cluster that is valid has exactly one primary copy of each bucket. A valid multisite cluster has a set of primary copies for each site that supports search affinity.
