Ted Yu commented on HBASE-17460:
--------------------------------
The failure of
TestReplicationAdminWithClusters#testEnableReplicationWhenSlaveClusterDoesntHaveTable
was due to HTD of tableName in primary cluster having replication enabled.
Running the test alone, it passes.
This means that other subtests in TestReplicationAdminWithClusters have some
side effect, leading to test failure.
> enable_table_replication can not perform cyclic replication of a table

> The enable_table_replication operation is broken for cyclic replication of
> HBase table as we compare all the properties of column families (including
> REPLICATION_SCOPE).
> Below is exactly what happens:
> 1. Running "enable_table_replication 'table1' " opeartion on first cluster
> will set the REPLICATION_SCOPE of all column families to peer id '1'. This
> will also create a table on second cluster where REPLICATION_SCOPE is still
> set to peer id '0'.
> 2. Now when we run "enable_table_replication 'table1'" on second cluster, we
> compare all the properties of table (including REPLICATION_SCOPE_, which
> obviously is different now.
> I am proposing a fix for this issue where we should avoid comparing
> REPLICATION_SCOPE inside HColumnDescriotor::compareTo() method, especially
> when replication is not already enabled on the desired table.
> I have made that change and it is working. I will submit the patch soon.
