Konstantin Boudnik commented on HADOOP-7346:
--------------------------------------------
+1 patch looks good.
Do you think it is possible to test this new behavior with perhaps mocks?
> Send back nicer error to clients using outdated IPC version

> When an older Hadoop version tries to contact a newer Hadoop version across
> an IPC protocol version bump, the client currently just gets a non-useful
> error message like "EOFException".
> Instead, the IPC server code can speak just enough of prior IPC protocols to
> send back a "fatal" message indicating the version mismatch.
