             Summary: Add option to avoid aborting RS process upon uncaught exceptions happen on replication source
                 Key: HBASE-24877
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24877
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Replication
            Reporter: Wellington Chevreuil
            Assignee: Wellington Chevreuil


Currently, we abort entire RS process if any uncaught exceptions happens on ReplicationSource initialization. This may be too extreme on certain deployments, where custom replication endpoint implementations may choose to do so when remote peers are unavailable, but source cluster shouldn't be brought down entirely. Similarly, source reader and shipper threads would cause RS to abort on any runtime exception occurrence while running. 

This patch adds configuration option (false by default, to keep the original behaviour), to avoid aborting entire RS processes under these conditions. Instead, if ReplicationSource initialization fails with a RuntimeException, it keeps retrying the source startup. In the case of readers/shippers runtime errors, it refreshes the replication source, terminating current source and its readers/shippers and creating new ones.
