How to create Azure Data Explorer Cluster Engine V2?

I want to set up a follower database and source database is under Engine V2 cluster.

Now default created cluster is Engine V3, and no engine option can be selected.

HI @Chenghao Yang

Is there any particular reason why you would want to use V2 instead of V3. V3 is fully compatible with V2 and provides greater performance. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/engine-v3

To answer your question, looking at the API, V2 is listed as an engine type under the create method. Using a slightly modified version of this template here, by adding in the engineType property, it has successfully deployed as V2 in my environment
