/**
 * Implementations are installed on a Replication Sink called from inside
 * ReplicationSink#replicateEntries to filter replicated WALEntries based off WALEntry attributes.
 * Currently only table name and replication write time are exposed (WALEntry is a private,
 * internal class so we cannot pass it here). To install, set
 * <code>hbase.replication.sink.walentryfilter</code> to the name of the implementing
 * class. Implementing class must have a no-param Constructor.
 * <p>This filter is of limited use. It is better to filter on the replication source rather than
 * here after the edits have been shipped on the replication sink. That said, applications such
 * as the hbase-indexer want to filter out any edits that were made before replication was enabled.
 * @see org.apache.hadoop.hbase.replication.WALEntryFilter for filtering on the replication
 * source-side.
