Shawn: Not entirely sure about AWS intricacies, but getting a new replica to use a particular index directory in the general case is just specifying dataDir=some_directory on the ADDREPLICA command. The index just needs an HTTP connection (uses the old replication process) so nothing huge there. Then DELETEREPLICA for the old one. There's nothing that ZK has to know about to make this work, it's all local to the Solr instance.
Or I'm completely out in the weeds.
