I'm feeling that the feature may effectively disable compatibility feature
- Storm 2.0.0 daemons to work with Storm 1.x/0.10.x workers - since heartbeat
mechanism is changed. I hope it is OK to all of us, and personally I don't want
to hesitate introducing backward-incompatible changes in major version to not
miss out valuable efforts.---
