Hi, Is there a way to get the version of a remote hadoop instance through java API?
Suppose there are two machines: A and B. I deploy the hadoop instance on machine A, while my application is deployed on machine B. Before starting my application, I want to check whether the hadoop instance version is compatible with my application, so I want to get the version of the hadoop instance on machine A from B. I go through all the API, only find there is a VersionInfo class which can get you the local Hadoop version, not the remote instance. Do you have any ideas about this? Thanks and regards! Tao
