Description

ReplicationObserver was added in HBASE-17290 to prevent "Potential loss of data for replication of bulk loaded hfiles".

I tried to enable bulk loading replication feature (hbase.replication.bulkload.enabled=true and configure hbase.replication.cluster.id) on a HBase 2.0.0 cluster, but the RegionServer started with the following error:

2018-08-02 18:20:36,365 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.RegionServerCoprocessorHost: System coprocessor loading is enabled
2018-08-02 18:20:36,365 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.RegionServerCoprocessorHost: Table coprocessor loading is enabled
2018-08-02 18:20:36,365 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.RegionServerCoprocessorHost: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.replication.regionserver.ReplicationObserver is not of type
RegionServerCoprocessor. Check the configuration of hbase.coprocessor.regionserver.classes
2018-08-02 18:20:36,366 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coprocessor.CoprocessorHost: Cannot load coprocessor ReplicationObserver

It looks like this was broken by HBASE-17732 to me, but I could be wrong.
