---------------------------------------

This can be solved using ACLs. Should we resolve it as Won't Fix ?

> A common practice with MySQL replication is to enable the read_only flag (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_read_only) on slaves in order to disallow any user changes to a slave, while allowing replication from the master to flow in.  In HBase, enabling the READONLY field on a table will cause ReplicationSink to fail to apply changes.  It'd be ideal to have the default behavior allow replication to continue going through, a configurable option to influence this type of behavior, or perhaps even a flag that manipulates a peer's state (e.g. via add_peer) that dictates if replication can write to READONLY tables.
