--------------------------------
Summary: Look into hbase-2 client going to hbase-1 server
Key: HBASE-19145
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19145
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-1
Reporter: Jerry He
Priority: Major
>From the "[DISCUSS] hbase-2.0.0 compatibility expectations" thread.
Do we support hbase-2 client going against hbase-1 server?
We seem to be fine mix-and-match the clients and servers within the
hbase-1 releases. And IIRC hbase-1 client is ok against 0.98 server.
Suppose I have a product that depends and bundles HBase client. I
want to upgrade the dependency to hbase-2 so that it can take
advantages of and claim support of hbase-2.
But does it mean that I will need drop the claims that the new version
of the product support any hbase-1 backend?
It has not been an objective. It might work doing basic Client API on a
later branch-1 but will fail doing Admin functions (and figuring if a Table
is online). If it was a small thing to make it
work, lets get it in.
Let's look into it to see what works and what not. Have a statement at least.
