Description

The pluggable Replication endpoint in 0.98 will need to be documented as how exactly it can be used because of limitations that we may have due to mixed version compatability where the peers may be in an older version of 0.98 where pluggable replication endpoint is not there.
Also this feature adds some more data to the znodes like the name of the Endpoint impl, data and the Replication config. A peer cluster with the older version will not be able to read this data particularly when there is a custom replication configured. This JIRA aims at documenting such cases for the ease of user.
