Lars Hofhansl commented on HDFS-3721:
-------------------------------------
What sort of wire-compatibility are we talking about? Both trunk and 2.0 have
the hsync code. What sort of old cluster would not have this? Does the 2.x.x
client support communicating with a 1.x.x cluster?
Apologies for introducing this with my patch in HDFS-744, I had assumed
protobuf will take care of it.

> HDFS-744 added support for hsync to the data transfer wire protocol. However,
> it actually broke wire compatibility: if the client has hsync support but the
> server does not, the client cannot read or write data on the old cluster.
