bq: ...forwards the index notation to itself and any replicas... That's just odd phrasing.
All that means is that the document sent through the indexing process on the leader and all followers for a shard and is indexed independently on each. This is as opposed to the old master/slave situation where the master indexed the doc, but the slave got the indexed version as part of a segment when it replicated. Could you add a comment to the CWiki calling the phrasing out? It really is a bit mysterious.
