https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/613
I added the necessary fallbacks for prepared statement and metadata, so a
new client should now be able to talk with an old server without adverse
effects.
I would prefer that this change to be in this release, to match the state
of the C++ client, but I realized this is getting late.
