Christopher Tubbs updated ACCUMULO-751:
---------------------------------------
Assignee: Christopher Tubbs (was: Eric Newton)
> Support Wire Compatibility (between bugfix releases)
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-751
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-751
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: master, thrift, tserver
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Mike Drob
> Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: api, compatibility, versioning, wire, wireprotocol
>
> With the advent of the HA NameNode in HDFS, the need for planned Hadoop outages has greatly
diminished. I believe that Accumulo should follow suit and eventually allow for no-outage
upgrades.
> To support this feature, we would require wire compatibility between different versions
so that the cluster can continue to function in a mixed state. There are already contingencies
for master fail-over and tservers to leave/join the cluster, so I think this is a natural
extension of that code.
> To accomplish this for bugfix releases should be trivial. I think it is only necessary
to remove (or relax) the version check that happens when a tserver attempts to join. There
are rarely (never?) changes to the thrift protocol between bugfix releases, so theoretically
a 1.4.1 tserver is already compatible with a 1.4.0 master and vice versa.
> To maintain compatibility in the face of thrift protocol changes is certainly a harder
challenge, which might be best reserved for a separate ticket.
