Not sure how that comment contradicts with what I said. Adding new feature
in the next version should not break previous version.

comment from Jira:
> "Drill needs to be able to run queries that depend only on features that
are in the oldest version of Drill in the cluster. Say for example, most
drillbits are at version N and some are at version N+1. You added support for a
new type foo in version N+1. Any queries not using or depending on type foo
should run successfully. Queries depending on foo can only run successfully
after all the drillbits are upgraded to N+1."
