Alex Petrov commented on CASSANDRA-12142:
-----------------------------------------
I've made the mentioned changes to the patch. I have initially left the check
for lower version in it's original, but since I could not reproduce the size
mismatch, I've moved it down.
Might be that someone from driver team would like to take a look? [~adutra]
[~omichallat] [~andrew.tolbert] there's also an (early) version of driver
changes [here|https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/JAVA-1248]. I'd have to
add more tests to it.
> Add "beta" version native protocol flag

> Key: CASSANDRA-12142
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12142
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: CQL
> Reporter: Tyler Hobbs
> Assignee: Alex Petrov
> Labels: protocolv5
>
> 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.
