I will be setting this in Solr 7.3.1.
What would you be trying to achieve by putting multiple replicas on the
same machine? I don't think that makes any sense at all.
Is this SolrCloud?
In SolrCloud, there's no master and no slave. Also, no "host" and
"replica." All copies of the index, including the leaders, are called
replicas.
For standalone Solr, you're almost certainly going to want master/slave
replication, unless you want to update multiple independent copies.
There are a few advantages to independently updating replicas, but the
indexing software is necessarily more complex.
