I stand corrected. Clint is right. ES will try to apply only diffs as much as possible at the segment level. But if your underlying segments have diverged significantly since the replica node went down, it is likely that you'll end up with copying a lot more than the diffs (document-wise). Otherwise, it'll just copy segments that have changed. :)
