ryan rawson updated HBASE-2219:
-------------------------------

    Status: Patch Available  (was: Open)

this is a pretty serious change, while it makes all previous RPCs incompatible, 
it also allows for minor changes to the interface without altering the version 
number.  

There may be a performance hit, we should consider running some microbenches as 
well as a larger test.

> stop using code mapping for method names in the RPC

> since we use a sorted mapping of method names -> codes and send that over the 
> wire, even trivial changes, such as adding a new call, become 
> wire-incompatible.  This means many features which could easily have gone 
> into a minor update must wait for a major update.  Eg: 2066, 1845, etc.
> This will increase on-wire overhead, but the compatibility is worth it I 
> think.
