> When using an older or newer gfsh to connect to an older or newer distributed system gfsh will throw a warning error and not connect.
> Example warning message Cannot use a 9.8.5 gfsh client to connect to a 9.9.0 cluster..
> The desired behavior is to allow gfsh connect and only if there is an issue with an updated /unknown command parsing should the system throw an error and provide the extra guidance of what version the servers are at and the version of the current gfsh cli.
> Initially add these capability into the newer product version
> Later based on the feasibility of adding this to older version, this will be ported into the older version.
