Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-2983: ------------------------------------------- To clarify my point for the record. _From the time a snapshot is started (NN -upgrade) and until it is completed by -finalize or -rollback no DataNodes with different build versions are allowed on the cluster._ [Todd's comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2983?focusedCommentId=13250954#comment-13250954] captures it technically. > Relax the build version check to permit rolling upgrades within a release > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2983 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2983 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: Aaron T. Myers > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: HDFS-2983.patch, HDFS-2983.patch, HDFS-2983.patch, > HDFS-2983.patch, HDFS-2983.patch, HDFS-2983.patch, HDFS-2983.patch, > HDFS-2983.patch > > > Currently the version check for DN/NN communication is strict (it checks the > exact svn revision or git hash, Storage#getBuildVersion calls > VersionInfo#getRevision), which prevents rolling upgrades across any > releases. Once we have the PB-base RPC in place (coming soon to branch-23) > we'll have the necessary pieces in place to loosen this restriction, though > perhaps it takes another 23 minor release or so before we're ready to commit > to making the minor versions compatible. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
