Enrico Olivelli commented on ZOOKEEPER-3762:
--------------------------------------------

I see your pain [~randgalt]

We should go in the direction of making 3.6 100% compatible with 3.5 client.
See stuff like: ZOOKEEPER-3763

But regarding the ability to know which features are available on servers I am 
a little skeptic for the reasons above

> Add Client/Server API to return available features

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3762
>             Project: ZooKeeper
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: c client, java client, server
>    Affects Versions: 3.6.0
>            Reporter: Jordan Zimmerman
>            Priority: Major
>
> Recent versions have introduced several new features/changes. Clients would 
> benefit from an API that reports the feature set that a server instance 
> supports. Something like (in Java):
> {code}
> public enum ServerFeatures {
>     TTL_NODES,
>     PERSISTENT_WATCHERS,
>     ... etc ... full set of features TBD
> }
> // in ZooKeeper.java 
> public Collection<ServerFeatures> getServerFeatures() {
>     ...
> }
> {code}
