A "factor" is multiplied, so multiplying the leader by a replicationFactor of 1

I think that recycling the term "replication" within Solr was confusing, but it
is a bit late to change that.

Yes, the term "factor" is not misleading, but the term "replication" is.
If we keep calling shard-instances for "Replica" I guess "replicaFactor"
will be ok - at least much better than "replicationFactor". But it would
still be better with e.g. "ShardInstance" and "InstancesPerShard"
