Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-9151: ----------------------------------------- bq. So, given that I already consider HDFS to be "stable", and know people running this branch in production scenarios where a rolling upgrade is required, I would make the same argument that we should not break compatibility. You may consider it to be "stable". But the release is called 2.0.2-"alpha". Before calling it GA, I was planning to run through a checklist to make sure our wire compatibility story is rock solid. That is what is happening some of the jiras that are being filed now. bq. If this issue were a case of a big performance improvement, or a security issue, or even a feature improvement, I would weigh it stronger While these are compelling reasons for you, getting rid of writable in serialized rpc request and response is equally important. I and Sanjay have spent quite a lot of time on this. Seeing it completed before GA is a good goal. > Include RPC error info in RpcResponseHeader instead of sending it separately > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9151 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9151 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Sanjay Radia > Assignee: Sanjay Radia > Attachments: HADOOP-9151.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
