Rick Cox commented on HADOOP-5203:
----------------------------------

Does "only takstrackers and jobtrackers built from exactly the same source 
files should communicate" accurately describe the desired policy? 

If so, I can try to provide a patch for saveVersions.sh that will md5sum the 
entire source and use that in the version identifier, as an alternative way to 
enforce that policy. A single character source-level change would be declared 
incompatible, but rebuilding from exactly the same source would be OK.

> At start time, TT checks whether its version is compatible with JT.
> The condition is too restrictive. 
> It will shut down itself if one of the following conditions fail:
> * the version numbers must match
> * the revision numbers must match
> * the user ids who build the jar must match
> * the build times must match
> I think it should check the major part of the version numbers only (thus any 
> version like 0.19.xxxx should be compatible).
