> In trying to understand what's happening in ACCUMULO-2964, I noticed that I had similar exceptions from two different threads. One of the threads starting working after the unexplained thrift exceptions from a tserver restart, and the other continued to repeatedly fail for the lifetime of the test.
> I repeatedly saw this exception: 
> {noformat}
> 2014-07-11 04:14:41,591 [replication.WorkMaker] WARN : Failed to write work mutations for replication, will retry
> org.apache.accumulo.core.client.MutationsRejectedException: # constraint violations : 0  security codes: {accumulo.metadata(ID:!0)=[DEFAULT_SECURITY_ERROR]}  # server errors 0 # exceptions 0

> The part that struck me as odd was that the BatchWriter wasn't against the metadata table, but the replication table.
> I looked into the TabletServerBatchWriter. It appears that once the client sees a MutationsRejectedException, that BatchWriter becomes useless as the internal member {{somethingFailed}} is never reset back to {{false}} after the failure is reported. Same goes for {{serverSideErrors}}, {{unknownErrors}}, {{lastUnknownErrors}}, too.
> If this is the case, this is a bug because the BatchWriter should be resilient in this regard and not force the client to create a new Instance. If that's infeasible to do, we should add exceptions to the BatchWriter that fail fast when a BatchWriter is used that will report repeatedly report the same failure over and over again.
