This is inaccurate.  TLOG can become leader.  If that happens, then it 
functions exactly like an NRT leader.

I'm aware that saying the following is bikeshedding ... but I do think 
it would be as mistake to use any existing SolrCloud terminology for 
non-cloud deployments, including the word "replica".  The top contenders 
I have seen to replace master/slave in Solr are primary/secondary and 
publisher/subscriber.

It has been interesting watching this discussion play out on multiple 
open source mailing lists.  On other projects, I have seen a VERY high 
level of resistance to these changes, which I find disturbing and 
surprising.

Thanks,
