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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
