I bring up a new Solr node with no index and watch the index being replicated from the leader. The index size is 12G and the replication takes about 6 minutes, according to the replica log (from 'Starting recovery process' to 'Finished recovery process). However, shortly after the replication begins, while the index files are being copied, I am able to query the index on the replica and see q=*:* find all of the documents. But, from the core admin screen, numDocs = 0, and in the cloud screen the replica is in 'recovering' mode. How can this be?
