Vijay commented on CASSANDRA-4139: ---------------------------------- Hi Jonathan, The problem is the backward compatibility part of it... We do out.writeInt(header) which is used IncomingTcpConnection (header = input.readInt()) for the older versions the header will be corrupted... the other option is to write constant 4 bytes just for the header, If it sounds reasonable i can rewrite it? > Add varint encoding to Messaging service > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4139 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4139 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Core > Reporter: Vijay > Assignee: Vijay > Fix For: 1.2 > > Attachments: 0001-CASSANDRA-4139-v1.patch, > 0001-CASSANDRA-4139-v2.patch, 0001-CASSANDRA-4139-v3.patch, > 0002-add-bytes-written-metric.patch, 4139-Test.rtf > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
