             Summary: WALKey Extended Attributes
                 Key: HBASE-22622
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22622
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: wal
            Reporter: Geoffrey Jacoby
            Assignee: Geoffrey Jacoby


It would be useful if the WAL protobuf and WALKey class included an optional 
map of extended key/value attributes. While standard HBase replication would 
not use them, custom replication endpoints could use the data to make filtering 
decisions or take actions.

An example use case would be allowing a tool like Phoenix to annotate 
WAL.Entries to indicate that a given Entry is associated with a particular 
Phoenix view rather than the base table. A custom replication endpoint might 
choose to replicate some views but not others.
