Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-13123:
-------------------------------------------
That's a very good question. I suspect the answer is yes, which definitely
means HADOOP-12563 should get pulled back from branch-2.

> If one environment updates to using the new dtutil code and accompanying
> Credentials code, there is a backward compatibility issue with the default
> file format being JAVA. Older clients need to be updated to ask for a file
> in the legacy format (FORMAT_JAVA).
> As an aid to users in this trap, we can add a configuration property to set
> the default file format. When set to FORMAT_JAVA, the new server code will
> serve up legacy files without being asked. The default value for this
> property will remain FORMAT_PB. But affected users can add this config
> option to the services using the newer code.
