Phil Yang updated HBASE-17931:
------------------------------
    Description: 
In branch-1 and master we have some improvement and new features on scanning 
which is not compatible.

A client of old version to a server of new version is compatible (must be a bug 
if not, maybe need some test?). 
A client of new version may not be able to read from a server of old version 
correctly (because of scan limit, moreResults flag, etc), which is ok for 
major/minor upgrade and we can tell users to upgrade server before upgrading 
client. But RS also use scan to read meta. If meta table is in RS of old 
version, all RSs of new version may have trouble while scanning meta table.

So we should make sure meta table always in servers of new version. Force meta 
table in Master and upgrade Master first, or assign meta table in region 
servers with latest version?
