Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1015:
-------------------------------------------
If we're going to move to a generic serialization format (last time I proposed
that I was shot down by Avinash from a "ain't broke" perspective... memories!)
then we should use the fastest one we're incorporating (msgpack?), not the
slowest (avro).
> Internal Messaging should be backwards compatible

> Key: CASSANDRA-1015
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1015
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Ryan King
> Assignee: Gary Dusbabek
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.8
>
>
> Currently, incompatible changes in the node-to-node communication prevent
> rolling restarts of clusters.
> In order to fix this we should:
> 1) use a framework that makes doing compatible changes easy
> 2) have a policy of only making compatible changes between versions n and n+1*
> * Running multiple versions should only be supported for small periods of
> time. Running clusters of mixed version is not needed here.
