Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-4605:
------------------------------------------------

> This might work once we're serious about back-compatibility (1.0?). 

By "incompatible changes", I mean code level incompatibility.  For examples, 
unit tests may call package private methods but these methods may be changed.  
Another example: we may rename source files or move files from one package to 
another package.

> should run old version of unit tests to check back-compatibility
