when i use mysql replication, i think why not use it?
Perhaps doable, but every slave would need to re-index the same documents pulled from the db. It would be more CPU and resource intensive and harder to keep in sync. If you get a corrupted disk, how to you recover except to rebuild everything from the db (and that means a long outage). Same issues go for other document distribution methods such as using a message queues. Anyway, if this type of distribution works for you, use it! Solr's distribution mechanism is optional. -Yonik
