Different versions of accumulo libraries on client and server

[Denis <de...@camfex.cz>]

Hi.

My client software needs to work with few accumulo clusters, some 1.6
and some 1.7.
Would it be correct to use 1.7 accumulo libraries on the client and
1.6.x on the server?
Actually it works, I just want to be sure if I am right doing that.

Isn't OSGI (http://www.osgi.org/Main/HomePage) designed to allow using
different versions of client libraries?

While not explicitly supported, using a newer client is probably
acceptable. However, be aware that some features won't be supported, and
others may behave differently.

On the other hand, we do explicitly support compatibility between bugfix
versions. So, if there's a problem with using 1.6.4 client against a 1.6.3
server, that's be a big we'd be interested in fixing.

Of course, please report any issues with 1.7.0 client against 1.6.3 server.
Just be aware there may be limited in our ability to address those issues.

Hi Denis,
As far as my experience with working on accumulo, ideally you should use
the client libraries corresponding to your server version. But I have also
used the 1.7.0 libraries on my 1.6.3 accumulo cluster without ever facing a
problem.
