Karthik Kambatla commented on HADOOP-9517:
------------------------------------------
Thanks for chipping in, [~acmurthy]. The additions make sense to me. +1 to the
v5 patch.
Thoughts on binary compatibility:
# Given that it is hard to guarantee source API compatibility in Java (to the
extent that JDK itself doesn't), I wasn't sure if we should separately call out
binary compatibility.
# However, I really like the way ABI is described in the latest patch. It
mentions all of API, wire and semantic compatibilities, and focuses on the
practical implications for end-users. Thanks for including this.
