Is it feasible to configure a cluster, with multiple nodes, with more than  
1 replica, and use the cluster.routing.allocation.awareness.attributes  
option to configure:

a) Configure replica1 across a series of racks within the datacentre  
b) Configure replica2 as distinct zones within two different datacentres  
c) Configure replica 1 synchronous replication and replica2 as asynchronous

Thanks

A and B should be ok, not sure on C as I believe that a/sync is on an index  
level and would apply to any and all replicas.
