LDR does not pause when writes are sent to the DLQ. You must manage the DLQ manually by examining each entry in the DLQ and either manually reinserting the row or deleting the entry from the DLQ. If you have multiple DLQ entries, resolve them in order from most recent to least recent.

When you start LDR on a table, the job will lock the schema, which will prevent any accidental [schema changes]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/online-schema-changes.md %}) that would cause issues for LDR. There are some [supported schema changes](#supported-schema-changes) that you can perform on a replicating table, otherwise it is necessary to stop LDR in order to [coordinate the schema change](#coordinate-other-schema-changes).
