Vinayakumar B commented on HDFS-5887:
-------------------------------------
Can any expert in PB confirm, whether changing the PB message name (ClassName)
in Protobuf generated code affect compatibility with older versions?
Whether it can still identify old messages?
I understand that PB supports wire compatibility for the optional fields in a
Message, But what if Message name itself changed?
If there is a compatibility issue, then this issue will be invalid IMO.
