Which two of the following statements are accurate descriptions of the ARX index? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. The ARX index contains the index keys in sorted order, with the leaf level of the index containing D. The ARX index is 100% disposable and can be rebuilt at any point in time without disrupting client. The ARX index uses a sorted B-tree structure with data at the leaf level, and is fully disposable - it can be rebuilt from the underlying storage at any time without client disruption.

Why each option

The ARX index uses a sorted B-tree structure with data at the leaf level, and is fully disposable - it can be rebuilt from the underlying storage at any time without client disruption.

AThe ARX index stores the bulk of its data as bit arrays and answers most questions by performing

Describing the ARX index as storing bulk data as bit arrays is inaccurate - the ARX uses a sorted key-based index structure rather than bitmap representations.

BThe ARX index contains the index keys in sorted order, with the leaf level of the index containingCorrect

The ARX index stores keys in sorted order with the actual metadata at the leaf level, consistent with a B-tree architecture that enables efficient file lookups and range-based queries.

CThe ARX index is the key enabler of transparent data mobility because the ARX tracks where files

While the ARX does track file locations, characterizing the index alone as the 'key enabler' of transparent data mobility is inaccurate because transparency is achieved by the ARX system as a whole, including its namespace virtualization layer, not the index in isolation.

DThe ARX index is 100% disposable and can be rebuilt at any point in time without disrupting clientCorrect

The ARX index is 100% disposable because it is a derived metadata structure built from scanning the underlying volumes; it can be fully reconstructed at any time without impacting ongoing client file access.
