thanks david.  
I did talk to mike in the email, I put the physical replication in our version of elasticsearch and verified it in our core business. Mike saids "Wow, this is truly incredible progress! "  
I really want to know in what case, physical replication will have different effects, and even lead to performance degradation.  
I really want to contribute this feature to the community, and I look forward to further communication with you.
