Arko, It helps if we know what "doesn't work" means, and if we can see stacktraces [0], and what your steps were for execution that lead to it 'not working'.
My best guess in the dark would be that you are not using the right client jars when communicating with either of the HDFS servers. Due to incompatible changes to the HDFS protocols used within, inter-version talk between 0.19 and 0.20 isn't possible. You need a separate client prepared for each. Besides, why are you interested in using 0.19, as it is now unmaintained?
