@revans2 I agree that it would be great to test forward/backward
compatibility, but testing that in an automated way would be really difficult
since it would likely require the introduction of what in previous versions of
storm would have been a breaking change (clojure structures, etc.). I think
older client/newer server compatibility is acceptable.
I think this is a big step toward better supporting upgrades, rolling
upgrades, and continuity of operations for Storm deployments. Nice work
@Parth-Brahmbhatt, and @revans2 for the thorough review.
