Sakthi commented on HBASE-18864:
--------------------------------

Hey, [~stack]. Please share your thoughts on this.

I am looking into writing test cases.

The thought process while setting scope as '1' was that when a user puts a 
non-zero value, then probably the user wanted the replication to be a part? 
Hence the '1'. But seeing it the other way, shutting down the replication by 
setting the scope to '0' would be a safer option as it would help in cases 
where '5' was a mere typo or such. 

To tackle the problem of flooding log files when a user puts in a large number 
of writes with bad scope, should the log messages be put to "LOG.debug" 
instead, or checking for redundant log message before putting in another 
"LOG.warn" would be a better option?

Thanks.
