A distributable streaming command would be executed on an indexer if all preceding search commands are executed on the indexer, enhancing search efficiency by processing data where it resides.
Adistributable streaming commandis executed on an indexerif all preceding search commands are executed on the indexer. This ensures that the entire pipeline up to that point can be processed locally on the indexer without requiring intermediate results to be sent to the search head.
Here's why this works:
* Distributable Streaming Commands: These commands process data in a streaming manner and can run on indexers if all prior commands in the pipeline are also distributable. Examples includeeval,fields
, andrex.
* Execution Location: For a command to execute on an indexer, all preceding commands must also be distributable. If any non-distributable command (e.g.,stats,transaction) is encountered, processing shifts to the search head.
