But does that mean that in SolrCloud, slave nodes are busy indexing documents?
With SolrCloud, there is no such thing as master or slave. When you index documents, all applicable shard replicas are indexing the documents independently. I think the simple answer to your question is "yes" with the additional note that they are not "slaves" in the same sense as what you may be used to with older Solr versions.
With the additional inclusion of soft commits in 4.x, NRT is completely achievable in the SolrCloud model.
