Description

Currently to enable replication for a table user has to
1) Disable the table
2) Set the replication scope
3) enable the table
and also create a table with same name and CFs in peer cluster(s).

To help user we can provide client API's to enable and disable table replication.
So that user has to call only one API i.e., enable table replication which will,
1. Create a table with same name and CFs in the peer cluster(s)
2. Disable the table
3. Set the replication scope
4. Enable the table

If user wants to disable table replication then he/she only has to call disable table replication API which will,
1. Disable the table
2. Set the replication scope
3. Enable the table.
