Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-6596:
---------------------------------------
Jeff, my point was that I am trying to put a serialized copy of the delegation
token in a http request. Including a full-blown avro schema in a http request
would be overkill. The context here is that I'm trying to pass along a
delegation token in a http request. Since this will be used for hftp, enabling
compatibility between versions is required and therefore I need versioning
support. Going to thrift or protobufs seems like overkill for this, so I'm
proposing adding a version byte that will let us change the serialization later.
