I have reservations about dropping support for master->slave replication as an 
option, but not all of the non solrcloud mode baggage that surrounds it.

Std mode is a large part of the reason you don't have this experience with 
SolrCloud:

download Solr
start Solr
create your first collection
start using it

Offering a basic master->replication option itself, while a heavy cost, is not 
really the limiting factor on the SolrCloud vision that I have. More likely, we 
should try and merge the more std master->replication mode into SolrCloud, or 
consider dropping it (which I'm not yet promoting).

Lastly, Solr is very much like a database and comparing it to one makes a lot 
of sense. Much more than comparing it to java apps in general. They have very 
similar characteristics and many of the reasons you wouldn't want to have them 
stuck in a webapp are similar.
