Sorry, I don't know the answer to your questions; maybe Shai Erera does? But, FYI: Lucene added near-real-time replication recently ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5438), for much faster replication (no commit needed). It also doesn't require you to use SnapshotDeletionPolicy. Instead, the implementation takes care of incRef/decRef the files that still need to be copied.
I'm using this feature now and it's working quite well.
