[HBASE-10504] Define Replication Interface

Release Note

Adds a new plugin point ReplicationEndpoint. ReplicationSource, internal to hbase, tails the WAL and calls registered ReplicationEndpoints. ReplicationEndpoint implementations are responsible for actually shipping the edits to the other (hbase or non-hbase) cluster. ReplicationEndpoint can be defined per peer. Default inter-cluster replication works without any changes (lily etc should still work). ReplicationEndpoints have various facility including means for filtering out WAL edits source-side before they can be shipped to remote peers.

Description

HBase has replication. Fellas have been hijacking the replication apis to do all kinds of perverse stuff like indexing hbase content (hbase-indexer https://github.com/NGDATA/hbase-indexer) and our toffer just showed up w/ overrides that replicate via an alternate channel (over a secure thrift channel between dcs over on HBASE-9360). This issue is about surfacing these APIs as public with guarantees to downstreamers similar to those we have on our public client-facing APIs (and so we don't break them for downstreamers).

Any input phunt or gabriel.reid or toffer?

Thanks.
