To: "dev@hbase.apache.org" , lars hofhansl Cc: Nick Dimiduk Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=001a113992dcc7ee760510947b72 --001a113992dcc7ee760510947b72 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 The way some of the RPC's are done today is kind of negotiation after-the-fact. So the client does an RPC, it can fail with NoSuchMethodException, in which case the client should fallback if the operation is supported in the old version (like create table). In some cases where we add a new field in the PB for requests or responses, we always add it as optional, and check the existence of that field to do the new behavior or old behavior. In this sense, it is not negotiation per-se, but a feature-based graceful fallback. Coming to the specifics, I think what to do for Procv2 based DDL statements can be achieved using a similar strategy. For example, the create table request is sent, and a response returned back to the client. The create table request is handled after the response is returned back to the client, and the client just waits there for observing the "side affects" of the create table statement execution. If for example we do procv2 based create table, the create table response can optionally return the proc_id to the client in the same response. If it is a new client talking to the new server the proc_id will be there, so the client can safely call proc_v2 related RPC endpoints. If the returned response does not contain proc_id, then it is an old server, so it should do what it does today. This enables to have a client to be BC with old masters and new masters. If the client is old, even if the new master returns a proc_id, the client will ignore it.
