> Currently RPC communications in Hadoop is very strict. If a client has a 
> different version from that of the server, a VersionMismatched exception is 
> thrown and the client can not connect to the server. This force us to update 
> both client and server all at once if a RPC protocol is changed. But sometime 
> different versions do not mean the client & server are not compatible. It 
> would be nice if we could relax this restriction and allows us to support 
> inter-version communications.
> My idea is that DfsClient catches VersionMismatched exception when it 
> connects to NameNode. It then checks if the client & the server is 
> compatible. If yes, it sets the NameNode version in the dfs client and allows 
> the client to continue talking to NameNode. Otherwise, rethrow the 
> VersionMismatch exception.
