Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-7346: ------------------------------------- I checked with Nigel, he said he was cool with adding guava as a dependency in 0.22. So I've committed this to 22 as well. > Send back nicer error to clients using outdated IPC version > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7346 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7346 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ipc > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: hadoop-7346.txt, hadoop-7346.txt, hadoop-7346.txt > > > When an older Hadoop version tries to contact a newer Hadoop version across > an IPC protocol version bump, the client currently just gets a non-useful > error message like "EOFException". > Instead, the IPC server code can speak just enough of prior IPC protocols to > send back a "fatal" message indicating the version mismatch. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
