We don't really have any equivalent to master/slave when we talk about
SolrCloud, we have leader/replica.
But then we overload "replica" to include the leader which leads to
really awkward sentences.
So what do you think about referring to leaders/followers when we want
to be specific about the role of a particular node?
I like your idea.
Based on my experiences in IRC and on solr-user, I think that we're
going to have trouble no matter what we use for terminology. People
just can't seem to accept the idea that leader is a temporary
designation and that replication is rarely used.
I know I put a comment on an issue somewhere about having SolrCloud use
a special (and possibly hidden) replication handler, so that people
visiting the Replication tab don't ask us why their leader says it's a
slave.
Thanks,
