I write a test code to verify whether the AKKA version is compatible between 2.10_2.3.10 and 2.11_2.4.8.
I got release info as follows from http://akka.io/news/2015/09/30/akka-2.4.0-released.html: Binary Compatibility Akka 2.4.x is backwards binary compatible with previous 2.3.x versions (exceptions listed below). This means that the new JARs are a drop-in replacement for the old one (but not the other way around) as long as your build does not enable the inliner (Scala-only restriction). It should be noted that Scala 2.11.x is is not binary compatible with Scala 2.10.x, which means that Akka’s binary compatibility property only holds between versions that were built for a given Scala version—akka-actor_2.11-2.4.0.jar is compatible with akka- actor_2.11-2.3.14.jar but not with akka-actor_2.10-2.3.14.jar. According to the release info as above, my understanding is: if Scala version is different, AKKA should be incompatible. But the actual test result is: 2.10_2.3.10 and 2.11_2.4.8 is compatible. My test step is: step 1: Create two ActorSystems with the same name, one is based on 2.10_2.3.10 and the other one is based on 2.11_2.4.8. These two ActorSystems can form a cluster. step 2: Create a actor on each ActorSystem, and the two actor(We call them as A and B for easy to remember) can communicate with each other, for example: A send a message to B via invoke *tell *method, and B can receive message from A.
