Starting in Version 3.23.21, you can use @code{LOAD TABLE FROM MASTER} for

we recommend that you use it only in testing until we make it more stable.

Due to the non-transactional nature of MyISAM tables, it is possible to have
a query that will only partially update a table and return an error code. This
can happen, for example, on a multi-row insert that has one row violating a
key constraint, or if a long update query is killed after updating some of the
rows. If that happens on the master, the slave thread will exit and wait for
the DBA to decide what to do about it unless the error code is legitimate and
the query execution results in the same error code. If this error code
validation behaviour is not desirable, some ( or all) errors could be masked
out with @code{slave-skip-errors} option starting in Version 3.23.47.

While individual tables can be excluded from replication with
@code{replicate-do-table}/@code{replicate-ignore-table} or
@code{replicate-wild-do-table}/@code{replicate-wild-ignore-table}, there
are currently some design deficiencies that in some rather rare cases
produce unexpected results. The replication protocol does not inform the
slave explicitly which tables are going to be modified by the query - so
the slave has to parse the query to know this. To avoid redundant
parsing for queries that will end up actually being executed, table
exclusion is currently implemented by sending the query to the standard
MySQL parser, which will short-circuit the query and report success if
it detects that the table should be ignored. In addition to several
inefficiencies, this approach is also more bug prone, and there are two
known bugs as of Version 3.23.49 - because the parser automatically opens
the table when parsing some queries the ignored table has to exist on
the slave. The other bug is that if the ignored table gets partially
updated, the slave thread will not notice that the table actually should
have been ignored and will suspend the replication process. While the
above bugs are conceptually very simple to fix, we have not yet found a way
to do this without a sigficant code change that would compromize the stability
status of 3.23 branch. There exists a workaround for both if in the rare case
it happens to affect your application - use @code{slave-skip-errors}.
