             Summary: Add forward compatibility tests to JsonProtocol
                 Key: SPARK-4555
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4555
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Spark Core
            Reporter: Josh Rosen


The web UI / event listener's JsonProtocol is designed to be backwards- and 
forwards-compatible: newer versions of Spark should be able to consume event 
logs written by older versions and vice-versa.

We currently have backwards-compatibility tests for the "newer version reads 
older log" case; this JIRA tracks progress for adding the opposite 
forwards-compatibility tests.

This type of test could be non-trivial to write, since I think we'd need to 
actually run a script against multiple compiled Spark releases, so this test 
might need to sit outside of Spark Core itself as part of an integration 
testing suite.
