Jerry He created HBASE-19145: -------------------------------- Summary: Look into hbase-2 client going to hbase-1 server Key: HBASE-19145 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19145 Project: HBase Issue Type: Task Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-1 Reporter: Jerry He Priority: Major
>From the "[DISCUSS] hbase-2.0.0 compatibility expectations" thread. Do we support hbase-2 client going against hbase-1 server? We seem to be fine mix-and-match the clients and servers within the hbase-1 releases. And IIRC hbase-1 client is ok against 0.98 server. Suppose I have a product that depends and bundles HBase client. I want to upgrade the dependency to hbase-2 so that it can take advantages of and claim support of hbase-2. But does it mean that I will need drop the claims that the new version of the product support any hbase-1 backend? It has not been an objective. It might work doing basic Client API on a later branch-1 but will fail doing Admin functions (and figuring if a Table is online). If it was a small thing to make it work, lets get it in. Let's look into it to see what works and what not. Have a statement at least. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
