    Description

      Currently RPC communications in Hadoop is very strict. If a client has a different version from that of the server, a VersionMismatched exception is thrown and the client can not connect to the server. This force us to update both client and server all at once if a RPC protocol is changed. But sometime different versions do not mean the client & server are not compatible. It would be nice if we could relax this restriction and allows us to support inter-version communications.

      My idea is that DfsClient catches VersionMismatched exception when it connects to NameNode. It then checks if the client & the server is compatible. If yes, it sets the NameNode version in the dfs client and allows the client to continue talking to NameNode. Otherwise, rethrow the VersionMismatch exception.
