Review Comment:

   > That is correct but coproc would add it only so that it can consume it at 
sink side correct? Otherwise who else would read WAL attributes from WALEntry 
at sink side? HBase does it, while preparing for sink side mutations.
   
   The original design is to read it in replication endpoint, IIRC. And also, 
you can read it in ReplicationSink at the sink cluster, no problem.
   
   The problem here is you want to add the WAL attributes to mutation's 
attributes. This is a no no. We should not mix things up.
