RE: Solr 4.5.0 replication numDocs larger in slave
Here's what I believe is my solution: Yesterday I changed nrtMode to false in my solrconfig.xml (see the example solrconfig.xml for more info) on each master and slave server. And as of today the numDocs are the same in each master/slave pair - but I'll continue watching this for a bit. Anyway, I believe that the numDocs in the master was jumping ahead of the slave due to the nrtMode being set to true (which is the default). Having nrtMode set to true causes the IndexReaders to be reopened from the IndexWriter after the commit, and thus, if my guess is right, the IndexWriter is effectively soft committing some adds and deletes on a normal basis, even though I did not explicitly turn on any soft committing, that I know of. Then anytime an IndexerReader is reopened based on the InderWriter, you will see those soft commits. But setting nrtMode to false causes the IndexReaders to be reopened from the Directory which will never see those soft commits - only the hard commits. And of course on the slave side, after replication, the slave never sees any soft commits, only hard commits from the Directory.

We optimize the master once a week (early in the day Sunday) and we do not do a commit Sunday evening (the only evening of the week when we do not commit). So now after optimization/replication the master/slave pair that were out on sync on Friday now have the same numDocs (and every other value on the Overview page agrees except size under Replication where it shows the slave is smaller). Unfortunately, a different master/slave pair now have different numDocs after the optimize and replication done yesterday. For the newly out of sync master/slave pair, the Version (Under Statistics on the Overview page) is 4 revisions earlier on the slave than on the master and there are two fewer segments on the slave than there are on the master. Under Replication on the Overview page, the Versions and Gen's are all the same, but the size of the slave is smaller than the master. The slave has 51 fewer documents than the master.

I see Impl: org.apache.solr.core.NRTCachingDirectoryFactory on the Overview page. I've been trying to rely on default behavior whenever possible. But perhaps I need to turn something off?

RE: Solr 4.5.0 replication numDocs larger in slave
Thanks Erick. Indexing is not happening to the slave since it has never been set up there - there aren't even any commits happening on the slave (which we normally do via cron job). But Indexing is definitely happening to the master at the time replication happens. Sounds like the master is still indexing and you've deleted documents on the master.: Yes, that's exactly what I suspect is happening. But if that's true, I'd like to understand how those deletes could find there way into being replicated to the slave when the only commit happening on the master was presumably completed before the replication. Do deletes get committed in some special way outside of an explicit commit? Or do they get copied over to the slave as part of the replication and therefore effectively get committed to the slave before they are committed to the master? My replication is configured to replicate after commit and after startup. The slave polls the master every 10 minutes. The master commits only once a day. Presumably the only time the number of documents changes is at the end of the commit. Then once the commit is done I'd expect replication to begin. So in order to end up with a different numDocs in the slave there would need to be some sort of commit happening during the replication, right?
