Hi bq. what if destination cluster goes down so does it mean replicated data will start retail slave data (replicated Wals) in Master cluster memory?
Data which is yet to be replicated is tracked through Zookeeper currently. bq. if its true can we not disable it? We should disable the table replication only when we don't need that table data to be replicated any more. Suggest you to read https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#_cluster_replication section from the HBase book.

The master cluster relies on randomization to attempt to balance the stream of replication on the slave clusters. It is expected that the slave cluster has storage capacity to hold the replicated data. If a slave cluster does not have this memory or is inaccessible for other reasons, it throws an error and the master retains the WAL and retries the replication at intervals so based on above information what if destination cluster goes down so does it mean replicated data will start retail slave data (replicated Wals) in Master cluster memory? if its true can we not disable it? Thanks Manjeet -- luv all
