John Omernik commented on DRILL-4604:
-------------------------------------
Is it possible for us to get a administrator writable config value that is the
"expected" drill version? I think on new cluster instantiation (The first time
a drillbit, in distributed mode, is started, something must be responsible for
creation of the Zookeeper information), the setting should be the version of
the drillbit that is doing the creation of the ZK information.
Suggestion:
drill.exec.cluster.version
- As stated above it is instantiated with the version of the first drillbit to
create the ZK information
- It should be only modified by a cluster administrator.
Use: As we hash out the compatibility commitments it's just a tool for
administrators to set and create warnings in the UI/logs that the Master is set
to X, and then any drillbits that register not at X can be flagged in the UI.
This provides more utility than just showing those drillbits that don't match
the drillbit that the user viewing the Web UI on.
The WebUI could also proudly display the cluster version to allow folks to know
what this is.
In the future, it could "potentially" be used by developers that want to issue
changes/features that rely on a certain version. If the cluster version is not
set to a features minimum, that feature can't be enabled. Once the cluster
version meets the feature version, the the administrator can manually enable
the feature by setting a config item to "true" for that feature.
