question 50

Multiple Choice

• A) The bucket types (hot, warm, or cold) have the same search performance characteristics within the customer's environment.
• B) While hot, warm, and cold buckets have the same search performance characteristics within the customers environment, due to their optimized structure, the thawed buckets are the most performant.
• C) Searching hot and warm buckets result in best performance because by default the cold buckets are miniaturized by removing TSIDX files to save on storage cost.
• D) Because the cold buckets are written to a cheaper/slower storage volume, they will be slower to search compared to hot and warm buckets which are written to Solid State Disk (SSD).
