["Andrew Purtell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12619?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14234480#comment-14234480 ] 

Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-12619:
----------------------------------------

I made a pass over this and it seems fine. Let me see about committing this today, it should be in place ahead of HBASE-11764 because there's a small conflict with tag type allocation. (I'll fix that in HBASE-11764). Will take a closer look then.

One higher level question I have about this whole design is what happens if we want to replicate visibility tags as Strings over an existing custom ReplicationEndpoint? That won't be possible today because an endpoint is implemented by a single class, there's no opportunity for mixing in functionality. But that's not an issue for here, HBASE-11639 has already been reviewed and committed and this is a backport.
