    Would it be safe to turn on normal HBase replication on the new 
System.CHILD_LINK? (That is, is there any unwanted data in System.CHILD_LINK 
that this WALFilter wouldn't copy that normal HBase replication would?)
    
    If normal HBase replication works for System.CHILD_LINK, and all view data 
left in System.Catalog starts with tenant_id, then the logic here can be 
greatly simplified, similar to how it was before PHOENIX-4229
