Hi Dino, I suppose you could write your own ReplicationHandler to do the replication yourself, but I should think the effort involved would be better spent deploying the existing Solr http replication or using a Hadoop-based solution, or UNIX scripting.
By far, the easiest path to replication is to use Solr within a Jetty or similar container. I've been down the EmbeddedServer route, and the embedded server is very good and fast, but if you want replication, your practical choices are unix scripting or http. Hope this helps.
