Storing N1QL and FTS indexes

[iisuru]

Hi All,
When indexing is perfomed by index service indexes are stored in index service nodes or data service nodes assuming MDS is used to have index and data services in different nodes seperately?

Also when Search service does FTS indexing indexed data is stored in Search service or data service nodes?

Please clarify.

Thanks,

Hello @iisuru,

The secondary indexes used by the query service (N1QL) are stored in the Index service.

For FTS, the indexing and querying is done by the Search service. The Search service stores the search indexes.

Kind regards,
