SYSTEM.CHILD_LINK contains the parent->child linking rows and cells we use
to detect race conditions (eg a column of conflicting type being added at the
same time to a parent and child).
The latter cells are written with a short TTL.
I think we can use HBase replication for SYSTEM.CHILD_LINK. All the tenant
specific view metadata rows in SYSTEM.CATALOG start with tenant id.
I will modify this filter to how it was before PHOENIX-4229.
@gjacoby126 Thanks for the suggestion.
