Stu Hood commented on CASSANDRA-1015:
-------------------------------------

> messages could basically become wrappers for a union of up to two 
> sub-messages (current version and old version)
I think this would defeat the purpose of using a ser/de framework: 
additionally, generating record objects for this arrangement would be a 
nightmare.

> then we should use the fastest one we're incorporating
All of our alternatives are within an order of magnitude for ser/de speed 
[1]... IMO, ease of use and continued support should be the main deciding 
factors.

>
> Currently, incompatible changes in the node-to-node communication prevent 
> rolling restarts of clusters.
> In order to fix this we should:
> 1) use a framework that makes doing compatible changes easy
> 2) have a policy of only making compatible changes between versions n and n+1*
> * Running multiple versions should only be supported for small periods of 
> time. Running clusters of mixed version is not needed here.
