** [tickets:#1686] log: log agent library is not backward compatible**

**Status:** accepted
**Milestone:** 5.0.FC
**Created:** Fri Mar 04, 2016 03:04 AM UTC by Vu Minh Nguyen
**Last Updated:** Fri Mar 04, 2016 03:04 AM UTC
**Owner:** Vu Minh Nguyen


Static arrays of `logFileName` and `logFilePathName` were changed to dynamic 
ones in ticket [#279].

So, when opening one of dedicated log streams, `logFileName` and `logFilePath` 
name now are NULL, in other word, their length are zero (0). Their data are not 
passed to MDS for encoding.

But in old versions (using static arrays), `logFileName` and `logFilePath` name 
are not NULL always,  their length are at least one and are always passed to 
MDS for encoding. Therefore, in server side at MDS layer, the callback for 
decoding these data have an precondition check if these data length are zero or 
not.  It equal, decode gets failed, the `saLogStreamOpen` will get failed 
finally.

So, when log agent on standby node using new code (dynamic ones) to communicate 
with the log server on active node using old code (static ones), the standby 
node will get roboot because the NTF service on standby gets fail to open 
dedicated log streams toward log server.
