FYI, additional information on replication is available in the Solr TWiki:

The snapshooter script only makes an "instant snapshot" of the index directory using cp -lr. This does not involve any copying of index data. The actual replication is done using rsync in the other scripts, by copying the index snapshot elsewhere. Rsync only copies what has changed since the last copy, and not many files change in a Lucene index when adding documents, so it's correct that replication uses little bandwidth when adding documents. Index optimization, OTOH, causes much larger changes in the index directory, so after an optimization rsync will usually have much more data to transfer. -Bertrand
