> Currently RPC communications in Hadoop is very strict. If a client has a
> different version from that of the server, a VersionMismatched exception is
> thrown and the client can not connect to the server. This force us to update
> both client and server all at once if a RPC protocol is changed. But sometime
> different versions do not mean the client & server are not compatible. It
> would be nice if we could relax this restriction and allows us to support
> inter-version communications.
> My idea is that DfsClient catches VersionMismatched exception when it
> connects to NameNode. It then checks if the client & the server is
> compatible. If yes, it sets the NameNode version in the dfs client and allows
> the client to continue talking to NameNode. Otherwise, rethrow the
> VersionMismatch exception.
