Hello Everyone

is there any way to extend ZooKeeper data structure without breaking the 
backward compatibility.
Suppose I want to add cuser field in StatPersisted
class StatPersisted {
        ........
        ustring cuser;    //user who create the node
    }
This is fine with fresh ZooKeeper server installation, where ZooKeeper data is 
created freshly
But this causes problem while de-serializing when server is new but points to 
old ZooKeeper data.
Here by ZooKeeper data I mean snapshot and transaction log

In protocol buffers a field can be optional but in jute optional field is not 
supported.
is there any way to overcome this jute limitation? any work around?
