+/**
+ * Base class for {@link WALEntryFilter}, store the necessary common 
properties like
+ * {@link #serial}.
+ * <p>
+ * Why need to treat serial replication specially:
+ * <p>
+ * Under some special cases, we may filter out some entries but we still need 
to record the last
+ * pushed sequence id for these entries. For example, when we setup a 
bidirection replication A
+ * &lt;-&gt; B, if we write to both cluster A and cluster B, cluster A will 
not replicate the
+ * entries which are replicated from cluster B, which means we may have holes 
in the replication
+ * sequence ids. So if the region is closed abnormally, i.e, we do not have a 
close event for the
+ * region, and before the closing, we have some entries from cluster B, then 
the replication from
+ * cluster A to cluster B will be stuck if we do not record the last pushed 
sequence id of these
+ * entries because we will find out that the previous sequence id range will 
never finish. So we
+ * need to record the sequence id for these entries so the last pushed 
sequence id can reach the
+ * region barrier.
+ * @see <a

   Bummer. Okay, fair enough.
