Subject: Re: Push/pull model between leader and replica in one shard

Hi,

Replication when everything is working well is push:
* request comes to any node, ideally leader
* doc is indexed on leader
* doc is copied to replicas

If replica falls too far behind (not exactly sure what the "too far"
threshold is), it uses pull to replicate the whole index from leader.
Mark can answer the part about where tlog gets replayed to catch up on
docs that were missed while big index replication pull was happening.

This is a good thread to read on this topic:
