Chris Trezzo commented on HBASE-8771:
-------------------------------------

[~nidmhbase] forgive me if I am being slow, but I am still not quite sure I understand how it will still work. The setScope method is called in the HColumnDescriptor constructor, so any time you try to get a column descriptor for a column and the replication scope for that column is 2, this seems like it will fail. Check out the rest interface for example. If I try to get a HTableDescriptor on an existing table that has a column with replication scope 2, the getTableDescriptor method will blow up with an IllegalArgumentException. Does that make sense, or am I missing something?

> For replication_scope, only two values are meaningful:
> {code} 
>   public static final int REPLICATION_SCOPE_LOCAL = 0;
>   public static final int REPLICATION_SCOPE_GLOBAL = 1;
> {code} 
> However, there is no checking for that, so currently user can set it to any integer value. And all non-zero value will be treated as 1(GLOBAL). 
> This jira is to add a checking in HColumnDescriptor#setScope() so that only 0 and 1 will be accept during create_table or alter_table. 
> In the future, we can leverage replication_scope to store for info. For example: 
> -1: A columnfam is replicated from another cluster in MASTER_SLAVE setup (i.e readonly)
> 2 : A columnfam is set MASTER_MASTER
> Probably a major improve JIRA is needed for the future usage. It will be good to ensure the scope value at this moment.
