> We're working on a major upgrade of almost 900 tables across 100 production 
> clusters (and corresponding QA environment clusters). We've upgraded about 
> 25% of our QA environment and run into a series of incompatibilities along 
> the way. Most of them have been easy to get around, but I wanted to create 
> this Jira to collect them so that we can make an update to the docs for 
> future upgraders.
> My plan is to periodically edit this description to add to the list. If 
> anyone else has anything to contribute, feel free to edit as well or add a 
> comment. 
> Incompatibilities to document:
>  -  HBASE-15676 changed the serialized byte string used for the fuzzy mask. 
> FuzzyRowFilters created by older clients will not match any rows in an hbase2 
> cluster. This was fixed in HBASE-26537 but should be documented in our 
> upgrade guide.
>  - CDH5 try/catches bad HTableDescriptor.getDurability calls and returns 
> USE_DEFAULT. In hbase2, if someone creates a table with a bad durability 
> (i.e. DEFAULT instead of USE_DEFAULT), it results in a failure which causes 
> the CreateTableProcedure to infinitely retries with no backoff. This rapid 
> retry caused a bunch of pain on the cluster that encountered it, backing up 
> datanode's ability to keep up with the millions of calls to create and delete 
> .regioninfo files.
>  - This isn't quite an incompatibility, but HBASE-19389 introduced a 
> concurrency mitigation which may have surprising results coming from older 
> versions. The defaults are pretty conservative – when writing more than 100 
> columns, no more than 10 concurrent writes or 20 pending writes at once.
>  - Increments sent from branch-1 clients may get erroneously stored with a 
> timestamp of 0 on hbase2+ clusters: HBASE-26713
>  - CheckAndMutate with a "null" compare value used to ignore CompareOp. Fixed 
> in HBASE-26742, checkAndMutate affects may change between versions.
