Which statement best describes the behavior of API keys when multiple keys have the same name in Elasticsearch?
AAPI key names are unique per user but can be duplicated across different users
BAPI key names must be unique; creating a key with an existing name overwrites the old key
CAPI key names are not unique; multiple keys can share the same name without conflict
DAPI key names are unique and enforced by Elasticsearch; duplicates cause errors
Step-by-Step Solution
