Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-2197:
-------------------------------------------

bq. My expectation as a user is that I would turn on replication and then do a 
MR job to transfer already stored data from the source cluster to the new peer.

Good idea, I feel dumb not thinking about it. So we could ship a MR that takes 
in input a table and that outputs to a peer cluster, that's how you see it?

bq. That's a bug. Let's file a jira for it and fix it.

I think it's HBASE-1485

> Start replication from a point in time

> One way to set up a cluster for replication is to distcp all files then start 
> the replication. We need a way to make sure we don't miss any edits by being 
> able to start a process that reads old log files from a defined point in time 
> and send them to a specific slave cluster and then catch up with normal 
> replication.
