Alejandro Abdelnur commented on MAPREDUCE-223:
----------------------------------------------

Wasn't the idea that Avro would help fixing this?

Yes, doing things over HTTP (assuming you take care of not breaking things a 
payload level) works. 

Still Hadoop does not support HTTP natively for client side calls, so this is 
not option without add-on protocol adapter systems fronting JT and NN/DNs. In 
other words, a JT proxy and a HDFS proxy. 

FYI, Oozie is planning to provide JT proxy capabilities.


> JobClient should work with -1/+1 version of JobTracker

> Currently there is version check on the RPC calls that enforces the same 
> Hadoop version on the client and the server.
> To enable phased upgrades of systems using Hadoop and Hadoop itself the 
> {{JobClient}} should be able to interact with a {{JobTracker}} of the 
> previous and the next version of Hadoop (or with a range).
