[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7510) RegionTransitionData uses EventType enum index and not the value

["Jonathan Hsieh (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7510?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13546247#comment-13546247 ] 

Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-7510:
---------------------------------------

I think for compatibility, we are stuck with this.  Maybe we can close this out by adding a comments in the 0.94/0.92 code documenting this unexpected behavior?

> RegionTransitionData.write() uses eventType.ordinal() that is the index in the enum and not the value specified in the enum definition.
> so, to keep compatibility (e.g. rolling upgrades) we can't add stuff in the middle, remove or move around EventHand.EventType items.
> This is just a 0.92/0.94 problem. In trunk/protobuf is fixed since we use eventType.getCode() that returns the assigned value and not the enum index.
