    Abstract: The present disclosure provides solutions for determining the divergence (delta) between the current and previous reference data structures for mutable data in a search head. A method is provided that includes updating a pre-existing lookup table in a search head, generating a delta file that identifies the divergence between the updated and previous lookup table, and distributing the delta file to other components in the search environment. The compatibility of the delta file is checked with the local instance of the lookup table in each search component, and the lookup table is applied if compatibility is determined. However, if the delta file is determined to not be compatible with the current version of a local lookup table in an indexer, the entire lookup table sent to the requesting indexer instead.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide solutions for determining an elected search head captain is unqualified for the position, identifying a more qualified search head, and transferring the captain position to the more qualified search head. A method is provided that includes referencing qualification parameters in an elected search head captain, determining whether the newly elected search head captain is qualified for the position based on the parameters, identifying a more qualified search head to be the search head captain if the newly elected search head captain is determined to be unqualified for the position, and transferring the position of captain to the more qualified search head. The qualification parameters may include, for example, a pre-determined static flag set by an administrator of the search environment, and configuration replication status that corresponds to the most recent configuration state of the search head as recorded by the previous search head captain.
