---------------------------------------
Summary: Add "beta" version native protocol flag
Key: CASSANDRA-12142
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12142
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CQL
Reporter: Tyler Hobbs
As discussed in CASSANDRA-10786, we'd like to add a new flag to the native
protocol to allow drivers to connect using a "beta" native protocol version.
This would be used for native protocol versions that are still in development
and may not have all of the final features. Without the "beta" flag, drivers
will be prevented from using the protocol version.
This is primarily useful for driver authors to start work against a new
protocol version when the work on that spans multiple releases. Users would
not generally be expected to utilize this flag, although it could potentially
be used to offer early feedback on new protocol features.
It seems like the {{STARTUP}} message body is the best place for the new beta
flag. We may also considering adding protocol information to the {{SUPPORTED}}
message as well.
