Description

On HBASE-12254 and also at https://github.com/risdenk/hbase-custom-replication-endpoint-example risdenk made the following observations and suggestions regarding custom replication endpoints that I think are a reasonable blueprint for improvement:

I was trying out the pluggable replication endpoint feature and found the following:

• you must use the ReplicationAdmin to add the new ReplicationEndpoint
• hbase shell add_peer command doesn't support specifying a custom class
• hbase shell add_peer relies on the newly deprecated ReplicationAdmin addPeer methods
• ReplicationAdmin addPeer tableCfs is now a Map<TableName, ? extends Collection<String>> instead of a string

We should fix the add_peer command in the shell at least.

Issue Links

• breaks: HBASE-13746 list_replicated_tables command is not listing table in hbase shell.
• is related to: HBASE-12940 Expose listPeerConfigs and getPeerConfig to the HBase shell
