> Currently the first message a server sends to another server includes just
> one field - the server's id (long). This is in QuorumCnxManager.java. This
> makes changes to the information passed during this initial connection very
> difficult. This patch will change the first field of the message to be a
> protocol version (a negative number that can't be a server id). The second
> field will be the server id. The third field is number of bytes in the
> remainder of the message. A 3.4 server will read the first field as before,
> but if this is a negative number it will read the second field to find the
> server id, and then remove the remainder of the message from the stream. This
> will not affect 3.4 since 3.4 and earlier servers send just the server id (so
> the code in the patch will not run unless there is a server > 3.4 trying to
> connect). This will, however, provide the necessary flexibility for future
> releases as well as an upgrade path from 3.4
