> This is a requirement for java based Solr replication
> Usecase for arbitrary index directory:
> if the slave has a corrupted index and the filesystem does not allow
> overwriting files in use (NTFS) replication will fail. The solution is to
> copy the index from master to an alternate directory on slave and load
> indexreader/indexwriter from this alternate directory.
