Konstantin Boudnik commented on HADOOP-6733:
--------------------------------------------
This seems to be a very reasonable and sorta cheap approach of testing backward
compatibility. The only thing needs to be kept in mind that set of test
applications needs to be consistent from release to release. Otherwise, such
verification won't be representative enough. But I guess word count doesn't go
nowhere :)
