I am not able to run replication yet, waiting for a port to be open. But why should I see SizeOfLogQueue and Replication Lag increase? I have not enabled replication on any table. Just added a peer. No tables:columns are set to replicate yet. Interesting that TimeStampsOfLastAppliedOp shows the date when this cluster was setup to replicate to the same target (last time logs were applied was indeed on Jan 23). But since Jan 23 I completely rebuilt the target cluster (blew away all data and built it from scratch but this time pointing to another zookeeper cluster). I removed the old peer on this source and added the new one (this one pointing now to a new zookeeper). Like somehow it kept some metadata about the old peer. Not sure how's that possible when I removed it. I think that removes all the metadata for it.
