T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-1015:
-------------------------------------------

Johnathan, this is one approach I've had success with using thrift

So based on the type field you serialize to one of the column types.

> 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.
