I believe it becomes a federator and resends the request to the leader, but someone else more intimately familiar can correct me.

I read here <https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_0/shards-and-indexing-data-in-solrcloud.html<https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_0/shards-and-indexing-data-in-solrcloud.html>> : /When a document is sent to a Solr node for indexing, the system first determines which Shard that document belongs to, and then which node is currently hosting the leader for that shard. The document is then forwarded to the current leader for indexing, and the leader forwards the update to all of the other replicas./ So my question, what does happen when I'm sending index request to replica server instead leader server? Replica becomes a leader for this request? Or replica becomes only federator that resends request to leader and then leader will resend to replica? -- Sent from: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-User-f472068.html<http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-User-f472068.html>
