I think we should mark it as such. > Note that there are apis to find the version of server components in hadoop, > however, this class necessary for finding the version of client. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
