Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1970: ------------------------------------------- Can't we just have a version-announce feature (gossip?) that Must Never Change so we don't have to add the extra complexity of bouncing? In this case it is easier to ask permission than forgiveness. :) > Message version resolution > -------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-1970 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1970 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Gary Dusbabek > Assignee: Gary Dusbabek > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.8 > > > When a new new node (version N) contacts an old node (version N-1) for the > first time, the old node will not understand the message. One resolution > mechanism would be for the old node to "bounce" the message back to the > sender. The sender would then respond by translating the message to the > appropriate version and resending it. > For this to work, 0.7.1 will need to have the "bounce" feature. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
