http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Release1%2e0Requirements

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  This was agreed to in a [http://markmail.org/message/flljdfpgj65zngsf thread 
on [EMAIL PROTECTED]  There will be three separate projects, mapred, hdfs, and 
a library of common APIs and utilities (fs, io, conf, etc. packages).
  
- === RPC versioning ===
+ === Multi-language serialization ===
  
     * A serialization format that will allow non-java clients to be supported. 
Note 1.0 does not need to provide non-java clients but we should be able to 
support them before going to 2.0.
  
+ ''Do you mean serialization of user objects, or RPC parameters?  We have 
support for multi-lingual user objects already.  As for RPC, I don't yet see 
the case for forcing 1.0 to wait until we're ready to support multiple native 
client libraries. --DougCutting''
+ 
+ === RPC server that's forward-friendly ===
+ 
     * RPC mechanism should be able to detect and throw exception on new 
methods that old servers clearly don't implement.
  
+ ''That could be added in 1.1, no?  I don't see this as a 1.0 requirement, but 
maybe I'm missing something.  What happens today when you call an undefined 
method?  Protocol version mismatch, probably.  --DougCutting''
