Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-18027:
----------------------------------------
[~lhofhansl] The worklist handed to HICRE#Replicator can exceed the RPC limit
so we break it into separate RPCs if we need to. I think that's the best place
to do it, since it is the code that is directly involved with creating the
RPCs. The replication batch limit and the RPC size limits can be set in a way
that accidentally conflict, so we need to do this check at the last step.
> HBaseInterClusterReplicationEndpoint should respect RPC size limits when
> batching edits

> In HBaseInterClusterReplicationEndpoint#replicate we try to replicate in
> batches. We create N lists. N is the minimum of configured replicator
> threads, number of 100-waledit batches, or number of current sinks. Every
> pending entry in the replication context is then placed in order by hash of
> encoded region name into one of these N lists. Each of the N lists is then
> sent all at once in one replication RPC. We do not test if the sum of data in
> each N list will exceed RPC size limits. This code presumes each individual
> edit is reasonably small. Not checking for aggregate size while assembling
> the lists into RPCs is an oversight and can lead to replication failure when
> that assumption is violated.
> We can fix this by generating as many replication RPC calls as we need to
> drain a list, keeping each RPC under limit, instead of assuming the whole
> list will fit in one.
