Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1787:
-----------------------------------
@Nicholas: As discussed in some other JIRAs, the wire protocol isn't part of a
compatibility guarantee yet. We don't expect HDFS clients to work between 0.21,
0.22, and 0.23 for various other reasons. So, I dont think this should be
considered incompatible.
> "Not enough xcievers" error should propagate to client

> We find that users often run into the default transceiver limits in the DN.
> Putting aside the inherent issues with xceiver threads, it would be nice if
> the "xceiver limit exceeded" error propagated to the client. Currently,
> clients simply see an EOFException which is hard to interpret, and have to go
> slogging through DN logs to find the underlying issue.
> The data transfer protocol should be extended to either have a special error
> code for "not enough xceivers" or should have some error code for generic
> errors with which a string can be attached and propagated.
