    @revans2 I am sorry I am not sure what you mean when you say "topology 
serialization moved out". StormTopology is a thrift structure so I think we can 
use thriftSerializationDelegate. The Spouts and Bolts have Component structures 
which are just serialized java bytes. Do you mean every place where we are just 
calling "get_serialized_java" on thrift instances should use java 
serialization? I think that makes sense and I can make that change.  Let me 
know if I misunderstood your comment.


> Storm should support rolling upgrade/downgrade of storm cluster.

>
> Currently when a new version of storm is released in order to upgrade 
> existing storm clusters users need to backup their existing topologies , kill 
> all the topologies , perform the upgrade and resubmit all the topologies. 
> This is painful and results in downtime which may not be acceptable for 
> "Always alive"  production systems.
> Storm should support a rolling  upgrade/downgrade deployment process to avoid 
> these downtimes and to make the transition to a different version effortless. 
> Based on my initial attempt the primary issue seem to be the java 
> serialization used to serialize java classes like StormBase, Assignment, 
> WorkerHeartbeat which is then stored in zookeeper. When deserializing if the 
> serial versions do not match the deserialization fails resulting in processes 
> just getting killed indefinitely. We need to change the Utils/serialize and 
> Utils/deserialize so it can support non java serialization mechanism like 
> json.
