follower node

A node in a data domain cluster responsible for processing queries. The follower node does not update the index, although it has access to its latest copy. Each data domain cluster can have more than one follower node. In a single-node data domain cluster, a leader node is also a follower node. All nodes (including follower nodes) must have write access to a shared file system.
