Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6904:
--------------------------------------
> Can we use a hash of client side and server side to optimize getting the method names?
The description of how Avro handles this is at:
http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#handshake
Also, if there is no longer a major/minor distinction, perhaps it should just be called the
'version'?
> A baby step towards inter-version communications between dfs client and NameNode

> Currently RPC communications in Hadoop is very strict. If a client has a different version
from that of the server, a VersionMismatched exception is thrown and the client can not connect
to the server. This force us to update both client and server all at once if a RPC protocol
is changed. But sometime different versions do not mean the client & server are not compatible.
It would be nice if we could relax this restriction and allows us to support inter-version
communications.
> My idea is that DfsClient catches VersionMismatched exception when it connects to NameNode.
It then checks if the client & the server is compatible. If yes, it sets the NameNode
version in the dfs client and allows the client to continue talking to NameNode. Otherwise,
rethrow the VersionMismatch exception.
