Hi Erik, just went through https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Rule-based+Replica+Placement
I might be wrong but I didn't see anything to identify the "leader". To solve my problem with a rule: --> "do not create the replica on the same host where his leader exists" May be something like "rule=replica:*,host:!leader" or anything similar. But role "leader" is not available. Any other rule to make this possible? I must admit it is very flexible but also very complicated.
