> Current replication code treats differently the forward and reverse replication.  Forward replication creates a content package, adds it to a queue and transports it to the other instance while reverse replication creates a dummy POLL package, transports it to the other instance, retrieves the result queues it and then installs it in the current instance.
> The current flow for reverse replication complicates the code structure and can be simplified by using three main entities:
> 1. Package Importers:  can import(install) a replication package
> 1.a ReplicationPackageImporter
> 1.b ReplicationPackageImporterServlet bound to replication/importer resource type
> 1.c http://localhost:4502/libs/sling/replication/importers.json
> 2. Package Exporters - can export (create) a replication package 
> 2.a ReplicationPackageExporter 
> 2.b ReplicationPackageExporterServlet bound to replication/exporter resource type
> 2.c http://localhost:4502/libs/sling/replication/exporters.json
> 3. Replication Agents - coordinate the interaction between an exporter and an importer using the following flow: exports a package, adds it to a queue, and the imports the package. 
> 3.a ReplicationAgent 
> 3.b ReplicationAgentServlet bound to replication/agent resource type
> 3.c  http://localhost:4502/libs/sling/replication/agents.json
> Basically for forward replication the exporter is local and the importer is remote while for reverse replication the difference is that the exporter is remote and the importer is local.
