Timothy Chen commented on MESOS-986:
------------------------------------
This sounds very useful! libprocess indeed sounds like the best place to put it
as well
> Add versioning to messages.

> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Benjamin Mahler
>
> Message versioning in Mesos provides a number of benefits:
> (1) Prevent incompatible version combinations. For example, we want to reject
> slaves that are > 1 version behind the master.
> (2) The biggest win is providing the ability to determine behavior based on
> the cross-component versioning. For example, in MESOS-1668 we wanted the
> master to send a different ping message based on the version of the slave. In
> MESOS-1696, we wanted to perform reconciliation in the master based on the
> version of the slave. In both cases, when we don't have the version, we have
> to either rely on hacks/tricks, or add additional phases.
