             Summary: Relax protolock rule so changing field names are allowed
                 Key: HDDS-6365
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-6365
             Project: Apache Ozone
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build
            Reporter: Siyao Meng


Right now {{proto-backwards-compatibility}} uses default 
[protolock|https://github.com/nilslice/protolock#usage] command line argument, 
effectively enforcing strict mode for the 
[rules|https://github.com/nilslice/protolock#rules-enforced], which doesn't 
allow changing existing protobuf field names:

{code:xml|title=https://github.com/apache/ozone/blob/68c5ac5df4fbc0edd7114394112fa696a3dc9229/pom.xml#L1619-L1633}
          <groupId>com.salesforce.servicelibs</groupId>
          <artifactId>proto-backwards-compatibility</artifactId>
          <version>${proto-backwards-compatibility.version}</version>
          <configuration>
            <protoSourceRoot>${basedir}/target/classes</protoSourceRoot>
          </configuration>
{code}

While changing the field name alone doesn't affect wire compatiblity, unless 
the protobuf message is decoded into JSON at some point (which might use the 
field name).


Proposal:

Add {{<options>--strict false</options>}} in {{pom.xml}} so that strict mode is 
off, which as a side affect also turns off two other rules currently enforced 
according to [protolock 
readme|https://github.com/nilslice/protolock#rules-enforced]. I'm not sure if 
protolock provides a way for more granular control of which exact rule to turn 
off.

{code}
No Removing Reserved Fields
Compares the current vs. updated Protolock definitions and will return a list 
of warnings if any reserved field has been removed.

Note: This rule is not enforced when strict mode is disabled.

No Changing Field Names
Compares the current vs. updated Protolock definitions and will return a list 
of warnings if any message's previous fields have been renamed.

Note: This rule is not enforced when strict mode is disabled.

{code}
No Removing RPCs
Compares the current vs. updated Protolock definitions and will return a list 
of warnings if any RPCs provided by a Service have been removed.

Note: This rule is not enforced when strict mode is disabled.
