A method includes identifying a first table including data. The first table has associated metadata, an associated replication state, an associated replication log file including replication logs logging mutations of the first table, and an associated replication configuration file including a first association that associates the first table with a replication family. The method includes inserting a second association in the replication configuration file that associates a second table having a non-loadable state with the replication family. The association of the second table with the replication family causes persistence of any replication logs in the replication log file that correspond to any mutations of the first table during the existence of the second table. The method further includes generating a third table from the first table, the metadata associated with the first table, and the associated replication state of the first table.
