Description

1.17.0 introduced the kudu table set_replication_factor command, which removes the limitation on the table replication factor.

We should remove this section from the Known Issues and Limitations section under Tables:

• The replication factor is set at table creation time and cannot be changed later. As a workaround, create a new table with the same schema and the desired replication factor and insert the contents of the old table into the new one.
