I don't use *either* for my primary Solr installs. My indexes are distributed, with sharding maintained by my indexing code. Each copy of the index is independently updated, rather than relying on Solr features to replicate it. There are things I can do with this setup that would be much more difficult (and maybe impossible) with either SolrCloud or master-slave replication. Thanks, Shawn
