> The replication source will discard the WAL file in many cases when it encounters an exception reading it . This can cause data loss
> and the underlying reason of failed read remains hidden.  Only in certain scenarios, the replication source should dump the current WAL and move to the next one. 
> This JIRA aims to have an hbck option to check the WAL files of replication queues for any inconsistencies and also provide an option to fix it.
> The fix can be to remove the file from replication queue in zk and from the memory of replication source manager and replication sources. 
> A region server endpoint call from the hbck client to region server can be used to achieve this.
> Hbck can be configured with the following options:
> -softCheckReplicationWAL : Tries to open only the oldest WAL (the WAL currently read by replication source) from replication queue. If there is a position associated, it also seeks to that position and reads an entry from there
> -hardCheckReplicationWAL:  Check all WAL paths from replication queues by reading them completely to make sure they are ok.
> -fixMissingReplicationWAL: Remove the WAL's from replication queues which are not present on hdfs
> -fixCorruptedReplicationWAL:  Remove the WAL's from replication queues which are corrupted (based on the findings from softCheck/hardCheck). Also the WAL's are moved to a quarantine dir
> -rollAndFixCorruptedReplicationWAL - If the current WAL is corrupted, it is first rolled over and then deals with it in the same way as -fixCorruptedReplicationWAL option
