Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-10322:
----------------------------------------

Let's condense the dense walls of text above to a one line answer to the below question if it is possible:

Can we have a tag-aware codec that can be configured by *only* ReplicationSource and ReplicationSink for the RPC they do server-to-server cross site?

> Right now we have some inconsistency wrt sending back tags on read. We do this in scan when using Java client(Codec based cell block encoding). But during a Get operation or when a pure PB based Scan comes we are not sending back the tags.  So any of the below fix we have to do
> 1. Send back tags in missing cases also. But sending back visibility expression/ cell ACL is not correct.
> 2. Don't send back tags in any case. This will a problem when a tool like ExportTool use the scan to export the table data. We will miss exporting the cell visibility/ACL.
> 3. Send back tags based on some condition. It has to be per scan basis. Simplest way is pass some kind of attribute in Scan which says whether to send back tags or not. But believing some thing what scan specifies might not be correct IMO. Then comes the way of checking the user who is doing the scan. When a HBase super user doing the scan then only send back tags. So when a case comes like Export Tool's the execution should happen from a super user.
> So IMO we should go with #3.
> Patch coming soon.
