The current patch will lead to an 'incompatible change', no doubt, but I think it is fine. The InitMetaProcedure is only used when bootstraping a cluster. Once it is done, we will never use it again. So it is not likely to introduce any problems when rolling upgrading an existing cluster in real world. And even if someone does upgrade the version during bootstraping, since there is no actual data in the cluster before we finish InitMetaProcedure, the user ccan just cleanup the cluster and re-deploy again, there will be no data loss. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
