> At present, it looks like the replication table is managed by/written to by the system user, yet the table lives in the default namespace, which is where user tables live.
> This appears to violate the namespace model of segregating system tables from user tables.
> There's a few options for resolution:
> # Move the replication table into the reserved accumulo system namespace (there's some complication with this, because the system namespace is currently static, and the replication table may be created at any time; additionally, if users are expected to interact with this table... and I'm not sure if they are at all, the system namespace is probably not appropriate).
> # Create an additional reserved system namespace for replication (my least preferred option).
> # Use user credentials to manage/write to this table, rather than the system user (this is what the tracer/trace table does, and this is my preferred solution.)
