Here is a different approach.
Set up independent Solr Cloud clusters in each data center. Send all updates
into a persistent message queue (Amazon SQS, whatever) and have each cluster
get updates from the queue.
The two clusters are both live and configured identically, so there is nothing

Erick,
Thank you for your response. Yup, when I said it is not possible to have a
cross continent data center replica, I meant that we never ever want to do that
because of the latency.
What I was hoping is that I could have Solr cloud in my DataCentre A (DC-A)
and get all the benefits of sha
Well, replicas _can_ cross data centers, there's nothing explicitly
preventing it. But the network latency will cause "interesting" problems,
not to mention ZooKeeper Quorum sensing being challenging. But your
description is accurate, there's no such thing as a "read only replica" in
SolrCloud.
