Replication is roughly a copy of the diff between the master and the slave's index. An optimized index is a merged and re-written index so replication from an optimized master will give an optimized copy on the slave. The write lock is due to the fact that an IndexWriter is always open in Solr even on the slaves. -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
