Description

When ReplicationSource thread runs into the loop to contact peer's zk ensemble, it doesn't check isActive() before each retry, so if the given peer's zk ensemble is not reachable due to some reason, this ReplicationSource thread just can't be terminated by outside such as removePeer etc.
