Nick Dimiduk commented on PHOENIX-1678: --------------------------------------- I don't do this explicitly. Having a look at manifest files in phoenix-core/target/phoenix-core-4.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and phoenix-server/target/phoenix-server-4.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, it seems we do have the artifact version information available in the {{Implementation-Version}} field. I'm not sure what wires this up, I think it's done by maven automatically as I see the same in the hbase jars. > Detect client server jar mismatch/incomatibility by looking at the jar > version stored in the MANIFEST file > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-1678 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-1678 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Samarth Jain > Labels: Newbie > > Today, our way of detecting whether client and server jars are different is > by comparing the static member variable values in MetadataProtocol.java. The > check is hacky and could easily break once we start considering clusters > upgraded to snapshot and "sunk" RC jars. The current mechanism is also prone > to bugs when developers forget to change the member variable values even > though they changed the underlying metadata. > If the jar names could be written to a MANIFEST file, then we can have a > mechanism of detecting whether client and server jars belong to different > versions or if they are incompatible. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
