Description

From Jeff Whiting on the list:

I'm not sure...the key to everything was realizing picking up on RemoteException in "Unable to replicate because org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException" and realizing that it was on the replication cluster.

If it said something like "Unable to replicate. Destination cluster threw an exception: org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: java.io.IOException: java.lang.RuntimeException:"

Or something that makes it clear it is an exception on the remote or destination cluster would be helpful. It is easy to scan over org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException and read it like "org.ap...some-kind-of...exception."
