Why not do this at the target cluster?

And you are also free to implement your own ReplicationEndpoint, where you could change the table name when generating the protobuf message.

We have already introduced addExtendedAttribute method in WALKey interface for bringing customized data, so I'm -1 on introducing a setTableName method, it is confusing to users.

Will these alternatives suffice?

Given the veto on the PR, unless there is a strong technical justification to override, we can close this.

> Currently, table name in WALKey can not be changed once set. But exposing this function to change the table name can be very helpful for Customized WAL filters since they can flip the table name and make replication possible between different table names in source and sink clusters.
