Description

in cluster replication, if the master cluster have 2 tables which have column-family declared with replication scope = 1, and add a peer cluster which has only 1 table with the same name as the master cluster, in the ReplicationSource (thread in master cluster) for this peer, edits (logs) for both tables will be shipped to the peer, the peer will fail applying the edits due to TableNotFoundException, and this exception will also be responsed to the original shipper (ReplicationSource in master cluster), and the shipper will fall into an endless retry for shipping the failed edits without proceeding to read the remained(newer) log files and to ship following edits(maybe the normal, expected edit for the registered table). the symptom looks like the TableNotFoundException incurs endless retry and blocking normal table replication
