Add a second letter to Descriptor version
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-3470
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3470
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
            Assignee: Yuki Morishita
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.0.3


Versions g and h are actually forwards-compatible with version f, and more 
changes like that are easily forseeable (e.g., CASSANDRA-3407).

It would be nice to have an extra version digit (h1, h2, ... ha, hb, ...). 
Otherwise our choices are forcing people to scrub for these changes 
(unacceptable) or not updating the Descriptor version, which is suboptimal 
since we don't know what the contents are until we try to read it and find the 
latest parts missing.
