-----------------------------------
The problem exists and we need the fix. Have opened a sub task to polish the
code for branch-2.x.
> Fix NPE in ReplicationSourceManager as well as avoid permanently unreplicated
> data due to EOFException from WAL

> There seems to be a major issue with how we handle the EOF exception from
> WALEntryStream.
> Problem:
> When we see EOFException, we try to handle it and remove it from the log
> queue, but we never try to ship the existing batch of entries. *This is a
> permanent data loss in replication.*
>
> Secondly, we do not stop the reader on encountering the EOFException and thus
> if EOFException was on the last WAL, we still try to process the WALEntry
> stream and ship the empty batch with lastWALPath set to null. This is the
> reason of NPE as below which *crash* the region server.
