Anoop Sam John created HBASE-10321: -------------------------------------- Summary: CellCodec has broken the 96 client to 98 server compatibility Key: HBASE-10321 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10321 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.98.0 Reporter: Anoop Sam John Assignee: Anoop Sam John Priority: Critical Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.99.0
The write/read tags added in CellCodec has broken the 96 client to 98 server compatibility (and 98 client to 96 server) When 96 client CellCodec writes cell, it wont write tags part at all. But the server expects a tag part, at least a 0 tag length. This tag length read will make a read of some bytes from next cell! I suggest we can remove the tag part from CellCodec. This codec is not used by default and I don't think some one will change to CellCodec from the default KVCodec now. .. Still I feel we can solve it. This makes tags not supported via CellCodec..Tag support can be added to CellCodec once we have Connection negotiation in place (?) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
